MYC coordinates protein synthesis through the transcriptional control of RNA and protein components of ribosomes, and of gene products required for the processing of ribosomal RNA, the nuclear ...

In the beginning -- of the ribosome, the cell's protein-building workbench -- there were ribonucleic acids, the molecules we call RNA that today perform a host of vital functions in cells.

Human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are essential for building ... Particularly high variations were found on a segment called 28S rRNA, an essential component of the protein-translating ribosome.
