The 5S RNP is assembled from its three components (5S rRNA, Rpl5/uL18, and Rpl11/uL5) before being incorporated into the pre-60S subunit. However, when ribosome synthesis is disturbed, a free 5S RNP can enter the MDM2–p53 pathway to regulate cell cycle and apoptotic signaling. Here we reconstitute a...
