FunctionFunction
Nucleoplasmin (Npl) is a molecular chaperone. Npl functions in the proper assembly of nucleosomes and chromatin structures[1]. He is participates in histone storage, sperm chromatin decondensation, and nucleosome assembly,enome stability, ribosome biogenesis, DNA duplication and transcriptional regulation. In the assembly of nucleosomal arrays the NP transfer to DNA to him by binding the histones, this reaction requires ATP.
RelevanceRelevance
Apoptotic chromatin condensation, one of the hallmarks of apoptosis, is regulated by Npl.
Structural highlightsStructural highlights
Nucleoplasmin (NP) is made out of five ,that create ring-shaped histone chaperone. The monomers are formed by a that responsible for oligomerization, that make the protein highly stable and compact. The activation of NP is by strong destabilization of the pentamer, probably due to electrostatic repulsion. The NP needs compact and stable structure so he can accumulate negative charges that weakens its quaternary interactions, and its required for its biological function.
