Amino acid substitutions altering the Rcl1p–Bms1p interaction affect early steps of pre-rRNA processing in vivo. (A) Northern blot analysis of pre-rRNA levels in strains expressing altered versions of RCL1. Total RNAs were extracted from yeast strains harbouring a deletion of the chromosomal RCL1 open reading frame (rcl1::kanR) and expressing plasmid-borne copies of wild-type or the indicated mutant versions of RCL1 (RCL1C277R, RCL1R327A, RCL1C277R/R327A). The accumulation levels of the different pre-rRNA species were analysed by northern blot using specific probes (indicated on the right). As a control, RNAs extracted from wild-type cells (BY4741) were analysed in parallel. (B) PhosphorImager quantifications of the radioactive signals obtained in the northern blot experiments presented in panel A. The ratios of the 35S over 20S species intensities and of the 35S over 27SA2 species intensities were calculated after background correction.
