Abstract excerpt
Ribosome biogenesis is essential for the cell growth and division. Disruptions in ribosome biogenesis result in developmental defects and a group of diseases, known as ribosomopathies. Here, we report a mutation in zebrafish urb1, which encodes an essential ribosome biogenesis protein. The urb1cq31 mutant exhibits hypoplastic digestive organs, which is caused by impaired cell proliferation with the...
