RECQ5 is a member of the RECQ helicase family that maintains genomic stability. However, the molecular mechanism of RECQ5 in this biological process remains elusive. Here, we show that RECQ5 localizes in the dense fibrillar component of nucleolus and associates with several pre-rRNA processing factors. It recognizes pre-rRNA and is able to unwind double-stranded RNA in vitro. Loss of RECQ5 induces the accumulation of 47S, 30SL5', and 30S pre-rRNA, and the reduction of 21S pre-rRNA, suggesting th ...[more]
