Myc-dependent regulation of ribosomal RNA synthesis during Drosophila development

Savraj S. Grewal , Ling Li , Amir Orian , Robert N. Eisenman & Bruce A. Edgar

Regulating ribosome number is thought to control cellular growth. Synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a limiting step in ribosome biogenesis and rates of rRNA synthesis are generally altered depending on the growth status of a cell.
