Journal ArticleDOI

Ribosomal protein SA haploinsufficiency in humans with isolated congenital asplenia.

TL;DR: An essential role for RPSA in human spleen development is established after sequence analysis of familial and sporadic cases found that ICA patients carry mutations in the gene encoding ribosomal protein SA and as a result express about half the normal amount of this protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maf1p, a negative effector of RNA polymerase III in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: It is shown that tRNA levels are elevated in maf1 mutant cells and Maf1p acts as a negative effector of Pol III synthesis, indicating that this potential regulator ofPol III transcription is likely conserved since orthologs of MAF1p are present in other eukaryotes, including humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice with ribosomal protein S19 deficiency develop bone marrow failure and symptoms like patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia.

TL;DR: Both RPS19 gene transfer and the loss of p53 rescue the DBA phenotype implying the potential of the models for testing novel therapies, and the feasibility of transgenic RNA interference to generate mouse models for human diseases caused by haploinsufficient expression of a gene.
