Brief description A major feature of cardiac hypertrophy (enlarged heart) is accelerated cell growth and protein synthesis. This results from increased synthesis of ribosomes (the protein synthetic machinery). This study will examine a factor termed UBF whose activity is critical for the regulation of ribosome synthesis. Understanding the mechanisms controlling UBF function will provide new avenues in which to develop therapeutics to combat hypertrophic heart disease.
