Abstract
The relatively new study of ribosomal proteins has allowed for greater understanding of protein synthesis; however the connection between ribosomal proteins’ roles and that of disease pathophysiology has not yet been established. RPS19 is a ribosomal protein linked to Diamond–Blackfan anemia whose functions have begun to be elucidated. We review here the known roles of RPS19 in both ribosome construction and other extra-ribosomal functions and discuss their relationship to Diamond–Blackfan anemia.
