The cytidine deaminase APOBEC3A regulates nucleolar function to promote cell growth and ribosome biogenesis.

Cancer initiates as a consequence of genomic mutations and its subsequent progression relies in part on increased production of ribosomes to maintain high levels of protein synthesis for unchecked cell growth. Recently, cytidine deaminases have been uncovered as sources of mutagenesis in cancer. In...
