In this study we obtained and characterized the recombinant analogue of multifunctional nucleolar phosphoprotein nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) involved in crucial cellular processes such as transcription, reparation and mitosis. The influence ofnucleophosmin 1 on extrcellular RNAs accumulation in human adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7 was analyzed. It was found that incubation of AluY RNA (n > 300 nt), U24 snoRNA analogues (n ~ 80 nt) with Npm1-His6 resulted in RNA-protein non-covalent complexes formation, but not in case of the short oligoribonucleotide (n = 22 nt). It was shown that interaction of AluY RNA analogue with Npm1-His6 significantly increases transfection efficacy of the RNA into MCF-7 human cells. Altogether, these data allow us to conclude, that nucleophosmin 1 not only binds RNA with complex secondary structure, but also promotes uptake and internalization of such RNA by human cells.
