Abstract

It is now largely accepted that ribosomal proteins may be implicated in a variety of biological functions besides that of components of the translation machinery. Many evidences show that a subset of ribosomal proteins are involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and apoptosis through modulation of p53 activity. In addition, p53-independent mechanisms of cell cycle arrest in response to alterations of ribosomal proteins availability have been described. Here, I identify human rpL3 as a new regulator of cell cycle and apoptosis through the regulation of p21 expression in a p53-independent system. In particular, DNA damage induces accumulation of free-ribosome rpL3. This amount of rpL3, regulating p21 expression, is responsible for cell cycle arrest in response to a mild DNA damage, and apoptosis when the damage in higher and not reparable. In addition, the role of rpL3 is partially independent of p21. Taken together, these findings unravel a novel extraribosomal function of rpL3 which acts as ribosomal stress mediator inhibiting cell proliferation or triggering apoptosis in dependence of the nature of the stress.
