description | Cancer: A regulator of cell cycle gene expression An RNA-binding protein contributes to cancer by boosting the protein-making potential of various genes involved in the cell cycle and cell division. Researchers in Taiwan led by Liang-Yi Hung from the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan, previously showed that a cancer-causing protein implicated in tumors of the colon and elsewhere gets induced by both an RNA-binding protein called hnRNP Q1 and a growth factor called EGF. Now, they have demonstrated that these two molecules work in concert to boost the efficiency by which the RNA encoding the cancer-causing protein gets translated into the protein. They also showed that hnRNP Q1 serves a similar RNA-modulating function for several genes involved in spindle checkpoint during cell division. Together, the findings point to hnRNP Q1 as a potential target for future anti-cancer drugs. |
