ABSTRACT
Ribosomal proteins (RPs) are constituents of macromolecular machinery, ribosome that translates genetic information into proteins. Besides ribosomal functions, RPs are now getting appreciated for their 'moonlighting'/extra-ribosomal functions modulating many cellular processes. Accumulating evidence suggests that a number of RPs are involved in inflammation. Though acute inflammation is a part of the innate immune response, uncontrolled inflammation is a driving factor for several chronic inflammatory diseases. An in-depth understanding of inflammation regulation has always been valued for the better management of associated diseases. Hence, this review first outlines the common livelihood of RPs and then provides a comprehensive account of five RPs that significantly contribute to the inflammation process. Finally, we discuss the possible therapeutic uses of RPs against chronic inflammatory diseases.
