The eukaryotic ribosome is composed of 40S and 60S subunits, which is involved in the physiological process of protein translation. In many organisms, ribosomal proteins undergo various post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, O-linked b-N-acetylglucosaminylation, and ubiquitylation. Ribosomal proteinS6 (RPS6), the first identified ribosomal protein which can be phosphorylated, is a component of eukaryotic ribosomal 40S subunit. Functional studies of RPS6 phosphorylation suggested its role in the regulation of protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and glucose homeostasis. The phosphorylation of RPS6 can be triggered by multiple stimuli including growth factors, tumor promoting agents, and mitogens. The inhibition of RPS6 phosphorylation was found mainly under stress conditions such as hypoxia, heat shock, and hyperosmolarity. RPS6 phosphorylation is also commonly used as a marker for neuronal activity and a read out of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity.
