TTF1 control of LncRNA synthesis and cell growth delineates a tumour suppressor pathway acting directly on the ribosomal RNA Genes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT The tumour suppressor p14/19ARF regulates ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis by controlling the nucleolar localization of Transcription Termination Factor 1 (TTF1). However, the role played by TTF1 in regulating the rRNA genes and in potentially controlling growth has remained unclear. We now show that TTF1 expression regulates cell growth by determining the cellular complement of ribosomes. Unexpectedly, it achieves this by acting as a “roadblock” to synthesis of the non-coding LncRNA and pRNA that we show are generated from the “Spacer Promoter” duplications present upstream of the 47S pre-rRNA promoter on the mouse and human ribosomal RNA genes. Unexpectedly, the endogenous generation of these non-coding RNAs does not induce CpG methylation or gene silencing. Rather, it acts in cis to suppress 47S preinitiation complex formation and hence de novo pre-rRNA synthesis by a mechanism reminiscent of promoter interference or occlusion. Taken together, our data delineate a pathway from p19ARF to cell growth suppression via the regulation of ribosome biogenesis by non-coding RNAs and validate a key cellular growth law in mammalian cells.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
