Abstract excerpt
Ribosome biogenesis is crucial for cellular metabolism and has important implications for disease and aging. Human (Homo sapiens) glioma tumor-suppressor candidate region gene2 (GLTSCR2) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Nucleolar protein53 (Nop53) are orthologous proteins with demonstrated roles as ribosome biogenesis factors; knockdown of GLTSCR2 impairs maturation of 18S and 5.8S ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and...
