The young and the restless: Isolating the dynamic mammalian preribosomes
1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854.
Abstract:
Despite the advances in understanding the assembly of yeast preribosomes using affinity purification and structural analysis, studies on mammalian ribosome biogenesis have lagged behind. Using an unbiased method to purify native mammalian preribosomal complexes from the nucleus, Abetov et al. now uncover two types of premature ribonucleoprotein complexes that are nutrient- and mTOR-dependent. This purification scheme, combined with genome-editing techniques, could be exploited to untangle the complexities underlying human ribosome biogenesis and ribosomopathies.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by a...
