Although ribosomal proteins are known for playing an essential role in ribosome
assembly and protein translation, their ribosome-independent functions have also
been greatly appreciated. Over the past decade, more than a dozen of ribosomal
proteins have been found to activate the tumor suppressor p53 pathway in response
to ribosomal stress. In addition, these ribosomal proteins are involved in
various physiological and pathological processes. This review is composed to
overview the current understanding of how ribosomal stress provokes the
accumulation of ribosome-free ribosomal proteins, as well as the
ribosome-independent functions of ribosomal proteins in tumorigenesis, immune
signaling, and development. We also propose the potential of applying these
pieces of knowledge to the development of ribosomal stress-based cancer
therapeutics.
