    Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 2:514-20. 2001
    ..The mechanisms that underlie ribosomal synthesis, translocation and catalysis are now being unravelled, with practical implications for the design of antibiotics...
  2. ncbi A 'garbage can' for ribosomes: how eukaryotes degrade their ribosomes
    Denis L J Lafontaine
    Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique FRS F N R S, Institut de Biologie et de Médecine Moléculaire IBMM, Universite Libre de Bruxelles ULB, Charleroi Gosselies, Belgium
    Trends Biochem Sci 35:267-77. 2010
    ..This surveillance is active at every step of the ribosome synthesis pathway and on mature ribosomes, involves nearly entirely different mechanisms for the small and large subunits, and requires specialized subcellular organelles...
  3. ncbi The evolutionarily conserved protein Las1 is required for pre-rRNA processing at both ends of ITS2
    Stéphanie Schillewaert
    Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Charleroi Gosselies, Belgium
    Mol Cell Biol 32:430-44. 2012
    ..Consistently, we note the conspicuous presence of ~7- or 8-nucleotide extensions on both ends of 5.8S rRNA precursors and at the 5' end of pre-25S RNAs suggestive of a protected spacer fragment of similar length...
  4. ncbi TOR regulates the subcellular distribution of DIM2, a KH domain protein required for cotranscriptional ribosome assembly and pre-40S ribosome export

    RNA 14:2061-73. 2008
    ..Strikingly, DIM2 and RRP12 are both involved in the nucleocytoplasmic translocation of pre-ribosomes, suggesting that this step in the ribosome assembly pathway has been selected as a regulatory target for the TOR pathway...
