Nucleoplasmic checkpoint of the 40S ribosomal decoding center maturation
Nucleoplasmic checkpoint of the 40S ribosomal decoding center maturation
Lau et al. report that Rrp12 coordinates ordered decoding center assembly during 40S biogenesis by promoting timely assembly factor release and preventing premature rRNA folding. Rrp12 C-terminal truncation disrupts decoding center maturation, triggering premature recruitment of the Rio1 kinase, which could be a nucleoplasmic checkpoint to monitor 40S assembly fidelity.
