Ribosomal protein s20; rps20

The mammalian ribosome is composed of 4 RNA species (see 180450) and approximately 80 different proteins. Chu et al. (1993) isolated a human dermal vascular endothelial cell cDNA encoding ribosomal protein S20 (RPS20). The deduced 119-amino acid human RPS20 protein is identical to rat Rps20. Northern blot analysis detected an approximately 650-bp RPS20 transcript. Southern blot analysis showed that the RPS20 gene may be a member of a multigene family. By somatic cell hybrid and radiation hybrid mapping analyses, Kenmochi et al. (1998) mapped the human RPS20 gene to 8q.

ANIMAL MODEL

McGowan et al. (2008) reported 2 mouse 'dark skin' loci, Dsk3 and Dsk4, caused by mutations in Rps19 (603474) and Rps20, respectively. These mice have dark paws, tail skin, and ears, with melanocytosis limited to the epidermis. In the model proposed by McGowan et al. (2008), reduced dosage of Rps6 (180460), Rps19, or Rps20 triggers stabilization and/or activation of p53 (191170), which gives rise to a pleiotropic phenotype whose components depend on the sensitivity and response of individual cell types and on specific downstream targets of p53. Stabilization of p53 stimulates Kit ligand (KITLG; 184745) expression and, consequently, epidermal melanocytosis via a paracrine mechanism. Increased apoptosis causes erythrocyte hypoplasia and anemia, and activation of p53 causes reduced growth and decreased body size. McGowan et al. (2008) concluded that their results provide a mechanistic explanation for the diverse collection of phenotypes that accompany reduced dosage of genes encoding ribosomal proteins, and have implications for understanding normal human variation and human disease. ...
