Abstract:
The ribosomal protein L30e is an indispensable component of the eukaryotic 80S ribosome, where it is part of the large (60S) ribosomal subunit. Here, we determined the localization of L30e in the cryo-EM map of the 80S wheat germ (wg) ribosome at a resolution of 9.5 A. L30e is part of the interface between large and small subunits, where it dynamically participates in the formation of the two intersubunit bridges eB9 and B4.

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,...
