Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPRR16, also known as Largen, has been identified as a critical regulator of cell size homeostasis. In one study, its overexpression in human cells was shown to preferentially increase the translation of specific subsets of mRNAs, notably those encoding proteins that impact mitochondrial function. This selective enhancement not only led to an increase in mitochondrial mass and ATP production but also resulted in augmented cell size in both in vitro cultures and conditional transgenic mice, thereby highlighting a clear connection between mRNA translation, mitochondrial activity, and cellular growth regulation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn a separate investigation focused on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, research centered on the role of TMED3 rather than PRR16.
