Abstract:
Functional ribosomes synthesize proteins in all living cells and are composed of two labile associated subunits, which are made of rRNA and ribosomal proteins. The rRNA of the small 40S subunit (SSU) of the functional eukaryotic 80S ribosome decodes the mRNA molecule and the large 60S subunit (LSU) rRNA catalyzes protein synthesis. Recent fine structure determinations of the ribosome renewed interest in the role of ribosomal proteins in modulation of the core ribosomal functions. RpL10/Grc5p is a component of the LSU and is a multifunctional translational regulator, operating in 60S subunit biogenesis, 60S subunit export and 60S subunit joining with the 40S subunit. Here, we report that rpL10/Grc5p functionally interacts with the nuclear export factor Nmd3p in modulation of the cellular polysome complement and with the small subunit protein rpS6 in subunit joining and differential protein expression.

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Ribosome Structure and Assembly
Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotes, rRNA is transcribed from genes in the nucleolus—a part of the nucleus that specializes in ribosome production. Within...
