%X The nucleolus is a membraneless organelle and an excellent stress sensor. Any changes in its architecture or composition lead to nucleolar stress, resulting in cell cycle arrest and interruption of ribosomal activity, critical factors in aging and cancer. In this study, we identified and described the pivotal role of the RNA-binding protein HNRNPK in ribosome and nucleolar dynamics. We developed an in vitro model of endogenous HNRNPK overexpression and an in vivo mouse model of ubiquitous HNRNPK overexpression. These models showed disruptions in translation as the HNRNPK overexpression caused alterations in the nucleolar structure, resulting in p53-dependent nucleolar stress, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and bone marrow failure phenotype, similar to what is observed in patients with ribosomopathies. Together, our findings identify HNRNPK as a master regulator of ribosome biogenesis and nucleolar homeostasis through p53, providing what we believe to be a new perspective on the orchestration of nucleolar integrity, ribosome function and cellular senescence.
