    Title: Bcd1p controls RNA loading of the core protein Nop58 during C/D box snoRNP biogenesis.
  4. The authors identified structural features associated with the requirement of Hit1p and Bcd1p zinc finger-HIT domain for cell growth and box C/D snoRNA stability under heat stress. Altogether, the data suggest an important role of zinc finger-HIT domain could be to maintain functional folding to the rest of the protein, especially under heat stress conditions.
