The gene encoding ribosomal protein S19 is mutated in Diamond-Blackfan anaemia

Abstract: Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a constitutional erythroblastopenia characterized by absent or decreased erythroid precursors. The disease, previously mapped to human chromosome 19q13, is frequently associated with a variety of malformations. To identify the gene involved in DBA, we cloned the chromosome 19q13 breakpoint in a patient with a reciprocal X;19 chromosome translocation. The breakpoint occurred in the gene encoding ribosomal protein S19. Furthermore, we identified mutations in RPS19 in 10 of 40 un… Show more

“…These phenotypes resemble those of fruitfly Minute mutants, human Diamond-Blackfan anemia patients and the mouse Bst mutant, all of which bear mutations in ribosomal protein genes 18,20,21 . Compared with other model organisms, such as fruitflies, few viable mutants of ribosomal protein genes have been detected in mice and humans, suggesting that mammals may be less able to compensate for partial loss of function of genes involved in ribosome maturation and function 18,20 .…”

“…Uncoupling protein synthesis from cell growth and proliferation can result in tumorigenesis. Indeed, several gene products involved in ribosomal biogenesis and protein translation are associated with tumor susceptibility (e.g., mutated ribosomal protein S19 in Diamond-Blackfan Anemia and mutated DKC1 in dyskeratosis congenital), 9,10 suggesting that cancer cells may have defects in ribosomal control. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that ribosomal biogenesis may represent a critical pathway that must be monitored in order to preserve the fidelity of protein synthesis.…”

“…For instance, RPS4 has been implicated in Turner's syndrome, 1 and the mutant RPS19 was found in individuals with Diamond-Blackfan anemia. 2 In colorectal carcinoma, the overexpressions of RPS3, 3 RPS19 4 and RPL7a 5 have been reported. RPL23, a tumor metastasis-related gene, was found to induce high invasiveness of a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line.…”
