Disease relevance of RPS6

 

High impact information on RPS6

 

Biological context of RPS6

  • The sequence encoding the histone-like C-terminal extension was contiguous with upstream coding sequence within a single open reading frame in Exon 3, indicating that the lysine-rich extension in mosquito RPS6 is not the result of an aberrant splicing event [7].
  • The addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a potent tumor promoter, to serum-starved quiescent chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) or C127 murine cells resulted in increased phosphorylation of 40S ribosomal protein S6 [3].
 

Associations of RPS6 with chemical compounds

  • The additional sequence encodes a 100-amino acid, lysine-rich C-terminal extension of the RPS6 protein with 42-49% identity to histone H1 proteins from the chicken and other multicellular organisms [7].
  • Protein kinase capable of phosphorylating 40S ribosomal protein S6 on serine residues has been detected in chicken embryo fibroblasts [1].
