WD repeat containing protein 12 (WDR12), also known as YTM1 homolog, is a 423 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus. WD-repeats are motifs that are found in a variety of proteins and are characterized by a conserved core of 40-60 amino acids that commonly form a tertiary propeller structure. While proteins that contain WD-repeats participate in a wide range of cellular functions, they are generally involved in regulatory mechanisms concerning chromatin assembly, cell cycle control, signal transduction, RNA processing, apoptosis and vesicular trafficking. WDR12, which contains 7 WD-repeats, has been characterized to form a stable complex with pescadillo and BOP1. This complex, named PeBoW, plays a critical role in the mammalian ribosome biogenesis pathway. A mutation in the gene encoding WDR12 leads to an inhibition of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing and triggers p53-dependent cell cycle arrest. Pescadillo, BOP1 and WDR12 expression has been shown to be upregulated by the oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc.
