Nucleostemin (NS), a member of a family of nucleolar GTP-binding proteins, is highly expressed in proliferating cells and implicated in the control of cell cycle progression, the maintenance of stem cells, and the regulation of cancer cells. The depletion of NS in cell lines and invertebrate animals...
Production of the eukaryotic ribosomal subunits (40S and 60S) is a highly dynamic process in which numerous assembly factors coordinate structural rearrangements of pre-ribosomal complexes to achieve their mature, functional architectures. Across the domains of life, GTPases leverage their functions...
