Abstract

Ribosome biogenesis is a global process required for growth and proliferation in all cells, but disruptions in this process surprisingly lead to tissue-specific phenotypic disorders termed ribosomopathies. Pathogenic variants in the RNA Polymerase (Pol) I subunit POLR1A cause Acrofacial Dysostosis-Cincinnati type, which is characterized by craniofacial and limb anomalies. In a zebrafish model of Acrofacial Dysostosis-Cincinnati type, we demonstrate that polr1a-/- mutants exhibit deficient 47S rRNA transcription, reduced monosomes and polysomes and, consequently, defects in protein translation. This results in Tp53-dependent neuroepithelial apoptosis, diminished neural crest cell proliferation and cranioskeletal anomalies. This indicates that POLR1A is critical for rRNA transcription, which is considered a rate limiting step in ribosome biogenesis, underpinning its requirement for neuroepithelial cell and neural crest cell proliferation and survival. To understand the contribution of the Tp53 pathway to the pathogenesis of Acrofacial Dysostosis-Cincinnati type, we genetically inhibited tp53 in polr1a-/- mutant embryos. Tp53 inhibition suppresses neuroepithelial apoptosis and partially ameliorates the polr1a mutant phenotype. How...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
