The Role of Myc-Induced Protein Synthesis in Cancer

Open access

Abstract

Deregulation in different steps of translational control is an emerging mechanism for cancer formation. One example of an oncogene with a direct role in control of translation is the Myc transcription factor. Myc directly increases protein synthesis rates by controlling the expression of multiple components of the protein synthetic machinery, including ribosomal proteins and initiation factors of translation, Pol III and rDNA. However, the contribution of Myc-dependent increases in protein synthesis toward the multistep process leading to cancer has remained unknown. Recent evidence strongly suggests that Myc oncogenic signaling may monopolize the translational machinery to elicit cooperative effects on cell growth, cell cycle progression, and genome instability as a mechanism for cancer initiation. Moreover, new genetic tools to restore aberrant increases in protein synthesis control are now available, which should enable the dissection of important mechanisms in cancer that rely on the translational machinery.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • MYC is a well-established regulator of ribosome biogenesis and protein translation, including cap-dependent translation, and can rewire translational control in tumor cells when overexpressed.

    “Notably, MYC is a well-established regulator of ribosome biogenesis and protein translation, including cap-dependent translation, and can rewire translational control in tumor cells when it is overexpressed (29–31).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
