We report here the isolation and characterization of the nucMs1 alfalfa
cDNA, whose predicted amino acid sequence structurally resembles the yeast
Nsr1 protein and animal nucleolins. These proteins consist of an N-terminal
acidic domain, centrally located RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), and a
C-terminal glycine- and arginine-rich domain. In comparison with animal
nucleolins that contain four RRMs, NucMs1 more closely resembles the yeast
Nsr1 protein, which contains only two RRMs. A NucMs1 C-terminal peptide
antibody specifically recognized a 95-kD nucleolar protein in alfalfa cells
that changed its localization in a cell cycle-dependent manner. The nucMs1
transcript and p95nucMs1 protein levels correlated with cell proliferation,
and nucMs1 gene expression was found to be induced in the G1 phase upon
mitogenic stimulation of G0-arrested leaf cells. In situ hybridization
analysis of different alfalfa organs during various developmental stages
showed that nucMs1 gene expression is highest in root meristematic cells,
but it is also found in other meristematic cells of the plant body. nucMs1
expression is tightly linked to cell proliferation but does not depend on a
particular cell cycle phase. No nucMs1 expression was observed in cells
that had exited the cell cycle and were undergoing differentiation or polar
growth, indicating that nucMs1 may not be necessary for processes other
than cell proliferation.
