Abstract excerpt
The partitioning of cells by a nuclear envelope ensures that precursors of ribosomes do not interact prematurely with other components of the translation machinery. Ribosomal subunits are assembled in nucleoli and exported to the cytoplasm in a CRM1/Ran-GTP-dependent fashion. Export of the large (60S) subunit requires a shuttling adaptor protein, NMD3, which binds to mature, correctly folded subunits. Immature or...
