Biogenesis of the large ribosomal (60S) subunit involves the assembly of three rRNAs and 46 proteins, a process requiring approximately 70 ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) that bind and release the pre-60S at specific steps along the assembly pathway. The methyltransferase Spb1 and the K-loop GTPase Nog2 are essential RBFs that engage the rRNA A-loop during sequential steps in 60S maturation ...
