NIPBL is an essential loader of cohesin to mediate sister chromatid cohesion and chromatin loop organization. NIPBL mutations cause Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. How NIPBLs genomic localization is specified is not fully understood. We found that NIPBL localizes to the nucleolus in an RNA-dependent manner and binds directly to ribosomal RNA (rRNA). We identified two RNA binding domains in NIPBL in vitro, both of which are required for efficient rRNA binding in vivo. NIPBL binds to ribosomal DNA (rDNA) in an RNA-stimulated manner, recruits PAF1 and promotes pre-rRNA transcription. Stress that inhibits rRNA synthesis displaces NIPBL from the nucleolus and rDNA. Interestingly, treacle, mutated in Treacher Collins syndrome, tightly binds to and recruits NIPBL to the nucleolus, nucleolar organizer regions, and the stress-induced nucleolar cap. The results reveal that a subpopulation of NIPBL is recruited to the nucleolus through its interaction with RNA and treacle and regulates pre-rRNA transcription.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
