Ribosome biogenesis: Stripping for AAAction? [PDF]
Ribosomal subunits are assembled in the nucleolus before being transported to the cytoplasm. Recent work has identified both a protein that may play a key role in restructuring the large, 60S subunit prior to transport and factors that facilitate transport itself.

40S ribosome biogenesis co-factors are essential for gametophyte and embryo development
Ribosome biogenesis is well described in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast only very little information is available on this pathway in plants. This study presents the characterization of five putative protein co-factors of ribosome biogenesis in ...

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.

Viruses are known to co-opt host machinery for translation initiation, but less is known about which host factors are required for the formation of ribosomes used to synthesize viral proteins.

Background NOL12 5′-3′ exoribonucleases, conserved among eukaryotes, play important roles in pre-rRNA processing, ribosome assembly and export. The most well-described yeast counterpart, Rrp17, is required for maturation of 5.8 and 25S rRNAs, whereas ...

Increasing Complexity of Ribosomes and Their Biogenesis
According to the classic ribosome model, developed in the 1960s and 1970s, its only function is to translate the four-letter nucleic acid code into the 20 amino acid peptide-code, while polymerizing amino acids into peptides with the help of a large complement of tRNAs and translation factors that cycle on and off the ribosome [...]

Ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes requires the participation of a large number of ribosome assembly factors. The highly conserved eukaryotic nucleolar protein Nep1 has an essential but unknown function in 18S rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis.

The nucleolus is a large nuclear body that serves as the primary site for ribosome biogenesis. Recent studies have suggested that it also plays an important role in organizing chromatin architecture.

When ribosomes go bad: diseases of ribosome biogenesis [PDF]
Abstract Ribosomes are vital for cell growth and survival. Until recently, it was believed that mutations in ribosomes or ribosome biogenesis factors would be lethal, due to the essential nature of these complexes. However, in the last few decades, a number of diseases of ribosome biogenesis have been discovered.
