Mutations In Ribosomal Proteins: Apoptosis, Cell Competition, And Cancer
MOLECULAR & CELLULAR ONCOLOGY(2016)
Abstract
Mutations affecting multiple ribosomal proteins are implicated in cancer. Using genetic mosaics in the fruit fly Drosophila, we describe 3 apoptotic mechanisms that affect Rp/Rp homozygous mutant cells, Rp/C heterozygous cells, or Rp/C heterozygous cells in competition with nearby wild type cells, and discuss how apoptosis might be related to cancer predisposition.
