Among the RNA targets that displayed a polysomal shift are mRNAs encoding proteins related to cancer, such as NRAS, the Ras-related protein R-Ras2, and those related to cell cycle, such as CDC27, the retinoblastoma binding protein RBBP8, and retinoblastoma-like 1 (RBL1). The gene discussed is RRAS2; the disease is cancer.
