Nop9 is a PUF-like protein that prevents premature cleavage to correctly process pre-18S rRNA

Nop9 is a conserved small ribosomal subunit biogenesis factor. Here, Zhang et al. show that Nop9, in complex with RNA, adopts a C-shaped fold formed from 11 Pumillo repeats and propose that Nop9 inhibits premature cleavage of 20S pre-rRNA by inhibiting the Nob1 nuclease.
