6Tumor cells require nominal increases in protein synthesis in order to maintain high proliferation rates. As 7 such, tumor cells must acquire enhanced ribosome production. How many of the mutations in tumor cells 8 ultimately achieve this aberrant production is largely unknown. The gene encoding ARF is the most commonly 9 deleted gene in human cancer. ARF plays a significant role in regulating ribosomal RNA synthesis and 10 processing, ribosome export into the cytoplasm, and global protein synthesis. Utilizing ribosome profiling, we 11 show that ARF is a major suppressor of 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine mRNA translation. Genes with increased 12 translational efficiency following loss of ARF include many ribosomal proteins and translation factors. 13 Knockout of p53 caused a similar increase in 5'-TOP mRNA translation. The 5'-TOP regulators mTORC1, eIF4G1 14 and LARP1 are dysregulated in ARF and p53 null cells. 15 16 17 18
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
