Abstract
Ribosomal biogenesis is correlated with cell cycle, cell proliferation, cell growth and tumorigenesis. Some oncogenes and tumor suppressors are involved in regulating the formation of mature ribosome and affecting the ribosomal biogenesis. In previous studies, the mitochondrial ribosomal protein L41 was reported to be involved in cell proliferation regulating through p21^WAF1/CIP1^ and p53 pathway. In this report, we have identified a mitochondrial ribosomal protein S36 (mMRPS36), which is localized in the mitochondria, and demonstrated that overexpression of mMRPS36 in cells retards the cell proliferation and delays cell cycle progression. In addition, the mMRPS36 overexpression induces p21^WAF1/CIP1^ expression, and regulates the expression and phosphorylation of p53. Our result also indicate that overexpression of mMRPS36 affects the mitochondrial function. These results suggest that mMRPS36 plays an important role in mitochondrial ribosomal biogenesis, which may cause nucleolar stress, thereby leading to cell cycle delay. J. Cell.

p21 WAF1/Cip1 is a recently identified gene involved in cell cycle regulation through cyclin-CDK-complex inhibition. The expression of this gene in several cell lines seems to be induced by wild-type, but not mutant, p53. p21 WAF1/Cip1 expression has been studied at both mRNA and protein levels in a
Mutations in the p53 tumour suppressor gene are the most common genetic alteration found in human cancers. Most of them are accompanied by stabilization of the protein, which renders it detectable through immunohistochemical techniques. Although p53 expression is a very common finding in Hodgkin's d
The expression and prognostic role of cyclin D1, cyclin E, and p21 (WAF1/CIP1) were immunohistochemically investivated in 413 curatively resected gastric carcinomas. p21 was expressed in 65•4 per cent (n=270), cyclin D1 in 23•7 per cent (n=98), and cyclin E in 13•6 per cent (n=56) of the tumours.

## Abstract We have used HeLa cells without mitochondrial DNA (ρ^0^‐cells) and transient ρ^0^‐phenocopies, obtained from wild‐type cells by short‐term treatment with ethidium bromide, to analyze how the absence of a functional mitochondrial respiratory chain slows down proliferation. We ruled out a
p21 WAF1/Cip1 is an inhibitor of cdk/cyclin complexes, and thus regulates the cell cycle. p21 is also related to cell differentiation and is regulated by wild-type p53, although p53-independent regulatory pathways have been proposed. In order to analyse p21 expression as well as its relationship wit
