Ribosomal proteins and human diseases: molecular mechanisms and targeted therapy
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021 Ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis are fundamental rate-limiting steps for cell growth and proliferation. The ribosomal proteins (RPs), comprising the structural parts of the ribosome, are essential for ribosome assembly and function.

Mapping of the saccharomyces cerevisiae oxa1-mitochondrial ribosome interface and identification of MrpL40, a ribosomal protein in close proximity to oxal and critical for oxidative phosphorylation complex assembly [PDF]
, 2009 The Oxa1 protein plays a central role in facilitating the cotranslational insertion of the nascent polypeptide chains into the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mitochondrially encoded proteins are synthesized on matrix-localized ribosomes which are tethered

Patterns of ribosomal protein expression specify normal and malignant human cells
Genome Biology, 2016 BackgroundRibosomes are highly conserved molecular machines whose core composition has traditionally been regarded as invariant. However, recent studies have reported intriguing differences in the expression of some ribosomal proteins (RPs) across ...

Alterations in the ribosomal machinery in cancer and hematologic disorders
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2012 Ribosomes are essential components of the protein translation machinery and are composed of more than 80 unique large and small ribosomal proteins. Recent studies show that in addition to their roles in protein translation, ribosomal proteins are also ...

The Up-Regulation of Ribosomal Proteins Further Regulates Protein Expression Profile in Female Schistosoma japonicum after Pairing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Pairing of Schistosoma males and females leads to and maintains female sexual maturation. However, the mechanism by which pairing facilitates sexual maturation of females is not clear.

Ancestral Interactions of Ribosomal RNA and Ribosomal Proteins [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2017 We have proposed that the ancient ribosome increased in size during early evolution by addition of small folding-competent RNAs. In this Accretion Model, small RNAs and peptides were subsumed onto subunit surfaces, gradually encasing and freezing previously acquired components.

Dissecting the Nuclear Import of the Ribosomal Protein Rps2 (uS5)
Biomolecules, 2023 The ribosome is assembled in a complex process mainly taking place in the nucleus. Consequently, newly synthesized ribosomal proteins have to travel from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, where they are incorporated into nascent ribosomal subunits. In this
