Here we review the functions of ribosomal proteins (RPs) in the nucleolar stages of large ribosomal subunit assembly in the yeast . We summarize the effects of depleting RPs on pre-rRNA processing and turnover, on the assembly of other RPs, and on the entry and exit of assembly factors (AFs). These results are interpreted in light of recent near-atomic-resolution cryo-EM structures of multiple assembly intermediates. Results are discussed with respect to each neighborhood of RPs and rRNA. We identify several key mechanisms related to RP behavior. Neighborhoods of RPs can assemble in one or more than one step. Entry of RPs can be triggered by molecular switches, in which an AF is replaced by an RP binding to the same site. To drive assembly forward, rRNA structure can be stabilized by RPs, including clamping rRNA structures or forming bridges between rRNA domains.

Background: The dysregulation of ribosome biogenesis has been extensively identified in various cancers, making it emerge as a hallmark of malignant cells. This highlights the potential of targeting ribosome biogenesis as an effective approach for treating cancer patients. Although chemotherapy drugs including doxorubicin and cisplatin often target ribosome biogenesis to induce DNA damage or inhibit tumor cell proliferation, they are associated with significant side effects.

Aim: To discover new salivary biomarkers to diagnose periodontitis and evaluate the impact of age and smoking on predictive capacity.
Material And Methods: Saliva samples were collected from 44 healthy periodontal individuals and 41 with periodontitis. Samples were analysed by sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS), and proteins were identified by employing the UniProt database.

Temperature is an environmental parameter that remarkably affects the survival and organism health of poikilothermal animal-Whitmania pigra Whitman. Heat stress destroys the physiological homeostasis of intestine tissue. However, no studies on the intestinal mucosa response of leech exposure to heat stress have been reported so far.

The objective of this study was to examine whether fucosterol, a phytosterol of marine algae, could ameliorate skeletal muscle atrophy in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-treated C2C12 myotubes and in immobilization-induced C57BL/6J mice. Male C57BL6J mice were immobilized for 1 week to induce skeletal muscle atrophy. Following immobilization, the mice were administrated orally with saline or fucosterol (10 or 30 mg/kg/day) for 1 week.

Background: Recent studies have identified hearing loss (HL) as a primary risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) onset. However, the mechanisms linking HL to AD are not fully understood. This study explored the effects of drug-induced hearing loss (DIHL) on the expression of proteins associated with AD progression in mouse models.
