Zusammenfassung

The nucleolus, the largest subcompartment of the nucleus, stands out from the nucleoplasm due to its exceptionally high local RNA and low DNA concentrations. Within this central hub of nuclear RNA metabolism, ribosome biogenesis is the most prominent ribonucleoprotein (RNP) biogenesis process, critically determining the structure and function of the nucleolus. However, recent studies have shed light on other roles of the nucleolus, exploring the interplay with various noncoding RNAs that are not directly involved in ribosome synthesis. This review focuses on this intriguing topic and summarizes the techniques to study and the latest findings on nucleolar long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as well as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the context of nucleolus biology beyond ribosome biogenesis. We particularly focus on the multifaceted roles of the nucleolus and noncoding RNAs in physiology and tumor biology.
