Methylation of ribosomal RNA by NSUN5 is a conserved mechanism modulating organismal lifespan [PDF]
Several pathways modulating longevity and stress resistance converge on translation by targeting ribosomal proteins or initiation factors, but whether this involves modifications of ribosomal RNA is unclear.

Nuclear Export of Pre-Ribosomal Subunits Requires Dbp5, but Not as an RNA-Helicase as for mRNA Export. [PDF]
The DEAD-box RNA-helicase Dbp5/Rat8 is known for its function in nuclear mRNA export, where it displaces the export receptor Mex67 from the mRNA at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer. [PDF]
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

Impairing the production of ribosomal RNA activates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signalling and downstream translation factors [PDF]
Ribosome biogenesis is a key process for maintaining protein synthetic capacity in dividing or growing cells, and requires coordinated production of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), including the processing of the latter.

Broad-Range Bacterial Detection and the Analysis of Unexplained Death and Critical Illness
Broad-range rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provides an alternative, cultivation-independent approach for identifying pathogens. In 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated population-based surveillance for unexplained life ...

The human RPS4 paralogue on Yq11.223 encodes a structurally conserved ribosomal protein and is preferentially expressed during spermatogenesis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The Y chromosome of mammals is particularly prone to accumulate genes related to male fertility. However, the high rate of molecular evolution on this chromosome predicts reduced power to the across-species comparative approach in identifying

Non‐ribosomal insights into ribosomal P2 protein in Plasmodium falciparum‐infected erythrocytes
The enormous complexity of the eukaryotic ribosome has been a real challenge in unlocking the mechanistic aspects of its amazing molecular function during mRNA translation and many non‐canonical activities of ribosomal proteins in eukaryotic cells. While

Differential polyadenylation of ribosomal RNA during post-transcriptional processing in Leishmania. [PDF]
The protozoan parasite Leishmania belongs to the most ancient eukaryotic lineages and this is reflected in several distinctive biological features, such as eukaryotic polycistronic transcription and RNA trans-splicing.

Cic1p/Nsa3p is required for synthesis and nuclear export of 60S ribosomal subunits [PDF]
Cic1p/Nsa3p was previously reported to be associated with the 26S proteasome and required for the degradation of specific substrates, but was also shown to be associated with early pre-60S particles and to be localized to the nucleolus.
