RpS12-mediated induction of the Xrp1short isoform links ribosomal protein mutations to cell competition

Eleni N. Tsakiri, Myrto Potiri, Kyriaki Kontogiannidi…·Marianthi Kiparaki

The paper shows that RpS12 induces the Xrp1short isoform in Rp+/- cells, which is necessary and sufficient for their elimination, challenging existing models of ribosomal protein-linked fitness surveillance.

Mis-regulation of the Nucleoporins 98 and 96 lead to defects in protein synthesis that promote hallmarks of tumorigenesis.

Ajai J. Pulianmackal, Kiriaki Kanakousaki, Kerry A. Flegel…·Laura Buttitta

This study shows that reducing Nup98-96 function in Drosophila leads to defects in protein synthesis and JNK signaling, promoting tumorigenesis when apoptosis is inhibited.
