Abstract:
Gene HRPS26 encoding the S26 human ribosomal protein has been sequenced. Gene HRPS26 consists of four exons and three introns. Its size is 2027 bp; the size of its mRNA is 438 nucleotides. As most of the genes of ribosomal proteins of vertebrates, the HRPS26 gene has a short first exon, which corresponds to the 5'-untranslated region of mRNA; the origin of transcription is located in the polypyrimidine tract. The functional activity of the cloned HRPS26 promoter region has been confirmed by transcription of hybrid plasmids in HeLa cells.

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...
