Abstract The nucleolus has recently emerged as a major coordinator of cellular stress responses by regulating the tumor suppressor p53. However, it is not known if the nucleolus regulates the cap 'n' collar (CnC) transcription factors SKN-1 and Nrf2, which activate conserved antioxidant and detoxification responses in C. elegans and mammals, respectively. A screen for negative regulators of detoxification genes in C. elegans identified the conserved WD40 repeat containing protein WDR-46. This protein is highly conserved with yeast UTP7, which functions in 18S rRNA processing and assembly of the 40S small ribosomal subunit. WDR-46 is expressed in the nucleoli of multiple tissues in C. elegans and is required for rRNA processing. Mutation or silencing of WDR-46 activates the single C. elegans CnC homologue SKN-1 and increases expression of its target genes. Depletion of wdr-46 reduces lifespan and stress resistance and SKN-1 partially compensates. Lastly, the C. elegans p53 homologue CEP-1 is partially required for activation of gst-4 when wdr-46 or other ribosome processing genes are silenced but not when translation initiation genes are silenced suggesting that disruptions to nucleolar function can activate SKN-1 by a mechanism that involves p53/cep-1 and is independent of protein translation.
