    text
  • endogenous, newly synthesized RPL5 and RPL11 continue to be imported into nucleoli even after nucleolar disruption and colocalize with MDM2, TP53, and promyelocytic leukemia protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • intracellular 5S RNA transport factor, nucleocytoplasmic trafficking
  • nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein that plays an important role in 5S rRNA intracellular transport during assembly of the large ribosomal subunit
  • RPL5 and RPL11 were required for rRNA export from the nucleolus
  • unlike other tumor suppressors, RPL5/RPL11 play an essential role in normal cell proliferation, a function cells have evolved to rely on in lieu of a cell cycle checkpoint (pMID: 24061479)
  • RPL5, co-operatively with RPL11, guides the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to MYC mRNA and mediates the degradation of the mRNA, consequently leading to inhibition of MYC activity
  • RPL5, and RPL11 can co-operatively suppress MYC expression, allowing a tightly controlled ribosome biogenesis in cells
  • RPL5 and RPL11 can enhance the transcriptional activity of a TP53 homolog TP73, but through a distinct mechanism

    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts specifically with the beta subunit of casein kinase I
  • cooperates with RPL11, resulting in a robust inhibition of the E3 activity of MDM2, and a stabilization and activation of TP53 approaching that achieved by p14(ARF)
  • interaction with NPM1 mediated the colocalization of NPM1 with maturing nuclear 60S ribosomal subunits, as well as newly exported and assembled 80S ribosomes and polysomes (Yu 2006)
  • RPL11 and RPL5 activate TP73 by overcoming MDM2 inhibition
  • HEATR3 is a ribosome assembly factor required for mammalian 60S ribosomal subunit assembly through binding of RPL5 and RPL11
