RNAi Knockdown of Nopp140 Induces the Minute Syndrome in Drosophila: A Potential Model for the Human Treacher Collins Syndrome

Nopp140 is believed to play a chaperone function in pre-rRNA processing and ribosome assembly. Alternative splicing in Drosophila may yield two isoforms: the first, Nopp140-True, shares a conserved carboxy terminus with human Nopp140. The second contains a distinctive glycine and arginine rich (RGG)...
