NAF1
geneOn this page
Summary
NAF1 (nuclear assembly factor 1 ribonucleoprotein, HGNC:25126) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q32.2, encoding H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex non-core subunit NAF1 (Q96HR8). RNA-binding protein required for the maturation of box H/ACA snoRNPs complex and ribosome biogenesis. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 37.3% of cell lines).
Enables identical protein binding activity and telomerase RNA binding activity. Involved in ribosome biogenesis; telomerase RNA stabilization; and telomerase holoenzyme complex assembly. Acts upstream of or within telomerase RNA localization to Cajal body. Located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Part of sno(s)RNA-containing ribonucleoprotein complex. Implicated in melanoma.

H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex non-core subunit NAF1 — Q96HR8 (reviewed: Q96HR8)
All UniProt accessions (2): D6RIB3, Q96HR8
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. RNA-binding protein required for the maturation of box H/ACA snoRNPs complex and ribosome biogenesis. During assembly of the H/ACA snoRNPs complex, it associates with the complex and disappears during maturation of the complex and is replaced by NOLA1/GAR1 to yield mature H/ACA snoRNPs complex. Probably competes with NOLA1/GAR1 for binding with DKC1/NOLA4.
Subunit / interactions. During assembly of the complex, component of the small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particles containing H/ACA-type snoRNAs (H/ACA snoRNPs) which contains NOLA2/NHP2, NOLA3/NOP10, NAF1 and DKC1/NOLA4. Interacts directly with DKC1/NOLA4.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Pulmonary fibrosis, and/or bone marrow failure syndrome, telomere-related, 7 (PFBMFT7) [MIM:620365] An autosomal dominant disease associated with shortened telomeres. Pulmonary fibrosis is the most common manifestation. Other features include aplastic anemia due to bone marrow failure, hepatic fibrosis, and increased cancer risk. Phenotype, age at onset, and severity are determined by telomere length. PFBMFT7 patients manifest anemia, lymphopenia, liver involvement with portal hypertension and hepatopulmonary syndrome, premature graying of the hair, nail dystrophy, and predisposition to squamous cell cancers or myelodysplasia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the NAF1 family.

Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
1 molecules (phase ≥1), by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 1,538 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
