Nucleolar proteins in reduction of cancer development. Some nucleolar proteins such as ARF and certain ribosomal proteins (RPs) of small (RPSs) and of large (RPLs) ribosomal subunit can inhibit the activities of factors participating in and regulating ribosome biosynthesis such as i.a. transcription termination factor I (TTF-I), nucleophosmin (NPM), or c-Myc; in addition, NPM alone can inactivate c-Myc. This results in reduced or stopped ribosome production (white arrows) followed by inhibition of cell proliferation
