Coordinate regulation of the ribosomal protein genes is entrusted to a number of signal transduction pathways that can abruptly induce or silence the ribosomal genes. We have uncovered a cellular model system, which selectively induces the ribosomal protein S25 gene in hepatoma cells that are stressed by nutrient deprivation. Our results indicate that p53 along with two other identified proteins, MTF-1 and La, post-transcriptionally regulate the synthesis of the S25 protein by controlling the nuclear export of the stress-induced S25 mRNA. This system is unique in that the nuclear-retained S25 mRNA is exported to the cytosol only, upon replenishment or alternatively after prolonged starvation to participate in a p53-mediated apoptotic sequence of events. This p53-dependent survival or death pathway involves a previously unreported protein relationship among these three actors, one of which, MTF-1, has not yet been shown to have RNA-binding characteristics.
