Abstract
p53 activation by ribosomal biogenesis stress is important for tumor suppression. In the August issue of Nature Medicine, Sasaki et al. identify PICT1 as a regulator of this process. PICT1 sequesters ribosomal protein RPL11 in the nucleolus, attenuating p53 induction. Excessive PICT1 may dampen the p53 response and promote cancer.Entities:
