ING1 regulates rRNA levels by altering nucleolar chromatin structure and mTOR localization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Epigenetic, transcriptional and signaling processes in the nucleolus regulate rRNA transcription and cell growth. We report here that the tumor suppressor ING1b binds rDNA, regulates rDNA chromatin modifications and affects nucleolar localization of mTOR to modulate rRNA levels. ING1 represses rDNA transcription by recruiting HDAC1 to rDNA loci, increasing its association with the NoRC complex and deacetylating the histone H3K9 and H3K27 marks of active transcription. Loss of ING1 enhances nucleolar localization of phospho-mTOR and its association with Raptor and GβL, even during rapamycin treatment. ING1 inhibits rDNA transcription by inhibiting UBF activity and its interaction with mTOR. Regulation of rDNA heterochromatin and rRNA synthesis by ING1 is also apparent during normal cell growth and during cell stress. Moreover, this function was also important during PMA induced differentiation of THP1 cells, since knocking down ING1 affected the process by inhibiting rRNA transcriptional repression. These observations show that ING1 regulates the nucleolar epigenome and rDNA transcription suggesting that regulation of protein synthesis might serve as the basis for ING1 function as a type II tumor suppressor.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
