The ATPase hCINAP regulates 18S rRNA processing and is essential for embryogenesis and tumour growth
Abstract
Perturbations in ribosome biogenesis affect development and increase cancer susceptibility. Here, the authors show that hCINAP is required for 18S rRNA processing, is highly expressed in cancers, and promotes cancer cell growth by upregulating the translation of cancer-associated genes.
