The Ki‐67 protein: From the known and the unknown

TL;DR: Although the Ki‐67 protein is well characterized on the molecular level and extensively used as a proliferation marker, the functional significance still remains unclear; there are indications, however, that Ki‐ 67 protein expression is an absolute requirement for progression through the cell‐division cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ki-67 protein is associated with ribosomal RNA transcription in quiescent and proliferating cells.

TL;DR: It is shown, that despite the strong downregulation of pKi‐67 expression in non‐proliferating cells, the protein can nevertheless be detected at sites linked to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromophore-assisted light inactivation of pKi-67 leads to inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis.

TL;DR: It is argued for a crucial role of pKi‐67 in RNA polymerase I‐dependent nucleolar rRNA synthesis in the early steps of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis.
