In a previous paper (S. Kawai, S. Murao, M. Mochizuki, I. Shibuya, K. Yano, and M. Takagi, J. Bacteriol. 174:254-262, 1992), we showed that in each genome of several yeast species, there is one of two types of L41 gene, one for an L41 (Q-type) protein which confers cycloheximide (CYH) resistance or one for an L41 (P-type) protein which does not. These genes have been suggested to be responsible for the CYH response used in taxonomy. For example, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is CYH sensitive, has a P-type L41 gene, while Kluyveromyces fragilis and Candida maltosa, which are CYH resistant, have Q-type L41 genes. However, in contrast to K. fragilis, which is constitutively resistant to CYH, C. maltosa is inducibly resistant to CYH. Here, we show that C. maltosa has both types of the L41 gene in its genome and that expression of the Q-type L41 gene is induced by CYH while the P-type L41 gene is constitutively expressed.

In this study, a genetically diverse panel of 43 mouse strains was exposed to ammonia, and genome-wide association mapping was performed employing a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assembly. Transcriptomic analysis was used to help resolve the genetic determinants of ammonia-induced acute lung injury. The encoded proteins were prioritized based on molecular function, nonsynonymous SNP within a functional domain or SNP within the promoter region that altered expression.

Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular cancer with metastatic potential affecting infants and children. Although chemotherapy is available for retinoblastoma, side effects and drug resistance are frequent. Rpl41, encoding ribosomal protein L41 (RPL41), has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene, and its targeted degradation of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) produces an antitumor effect.

T cell anergy is known to be a crucial mechanism for various types of immune tolerance, including oral tolerance. The expression of several anergy-specific genes was reportedly up-regulated in anergic T cells, and played important roles in the cells. However, how the genes were up-regulated has not been understood.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling is activated in retinal degeneration disease. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), an important mediator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), is a key element that maintains cell survival and proliferation in hypoxic conditions. Our previous studies showed that a small ribosomal protein L41 (RPL41) inhibits ATF4 by inducing its phosphorylation and degradation.
