Analysis of Nucleolar Protein Dynamics Reveals the Nuclear Degradation of Ribosomal Proteins [PDF]
Background: The nucleolus is a subnuclear organelle in which rRNAs are transcribed, processed, and assembled with ribosomal proteins into ribosome subunits.

Background Trypanosomes are single-celled eukaryotes that rely heavily on post-transcriptional mechanisms to regulate gene expression. RNA-binding proteins play essential roles in regulating the fate, abundance and translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs ...

Ribosome specialization in cancer: a spotlight on ribosomal proteins. [PDF]
AbstractIn the past few decades, our view of ribosomes has changed substantially. Rather than passive machines without significant variability, it is now acknowledged that they are heterogeneous, and have direct regulatory capacity. This ‘ribosome heterogeneity’ comes in many flavors, including in both the RNA and protein components of ribosomes, so ...

The small-subunit processome is a ribosome assembly intermediate [PDF]
The small-subunit (SSU) processome is a large ribonucleoprotein required for the biogenesis of the 18S rRNA and likely corresponds to the terminal knobs visualized by electron microscopy on the 5' end of nascent rRNAs.

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.

Summary: In mammals, about 99% of mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as precursors that are subsequently imported into the organelle. The mitochondrial health and functions rely on an accurate quality control of these imported proteins.

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.

Cotranslational Folding of Proteins on the Ribosome [PDF]
Many proteins in the cell fold cotranslationally within the restricted space of the polypeptide exit tunnel or at the surface of the ribosome. A growing body of evidence suggests that the ribosome can alter the folding trajectory in many different ways. In this review, we summarize the recent examples of how translation affects folding of single-domain,

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

Differential Stoichiometry among Core Ribosomal Proteins
Understanding the regulation and structure of ribosomes is essential to understanding protein synthesis and its dysregulation in disease. While ribosomes are believed to have a fixed stoichiometry among their core ribosomal proteins (RPs), some ...
