LRRC47 is an RNA-binding protein containing leucine-rich repeats that functions in ribosomal 40S subunit maturation. Structurally, LRRC47 binds to late-stage pre-40S ribosomal particles near RIOK1 and the central rRNA helix 44, contributing to the final steps of human ribosome assembly 1. The protein participates in the coordinated removal of ribosomal biogenesis factors and activation of the NOB1 endonuclease required for 18S rRNA maturation 1. In cancer contexts, LRRC47 shows functional relevance to disease progression. Proteomic analysis of prostate cancer identified LRRC47 as a differentially expressed RBP with roles in cancer cell growth, positioning it among RBPs with increased expression in advanced disease 2. Additionally, protein-protein interaction network analysis in hepatocellular carcinoma revealed significant interactions between LRRC47 and PBK, a serine/threonine kinase associated with poor prognosis 3. These findings suggest LRRC47 may contribute to cancer growth and progression, though its specific mechanistic roles in malignancy require further investigation. The dual functions of LRRC47 in normal ribosome biogenesis and altered expression in cancer suggest it may represent a node connecting translational control to oncogenic processes.
