24 seconds: NCL, a multifunctional RNA-binding phosphoprotein localized in the nucleolus, has shown involvement in cancer pathogenesis, where an overabundance in expression can be associated with tumor progression and metastasis. PP1β, an enzyme involved in the dephosphorylation of proteins, plays an important role in cellular homeostasis. The study utilizes bioinformatics tools to explore NCL and PP1β’s interactions with RNA-binding proteins and their implications in tumorigenesis.
