Selective inhibition of rRNA transcription downregulates E2F-1: a new p53-independent mechanism linking cell growth to cell proliferation
30 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
The tumour suppressor p53 negatively controls cell cycle progression in response to perturbed ribosome biogenesis in mammalian cells, thus coordinating growth with proliferation. Unlike mammalian cells, p53 is not involved in the growth control of proliferation in yeasts and flies. We investigated whether a p53-independent mechanism of response to inadequate ribosome biogenesis rate is also present in mammalian...
