Abstract excerpt
Mature rRNA are normally extremely stable in rapidly growing cells. However, studies show that some mature rRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are, in fact, turned over quite rapidly by the nonfunctional rRNA decay (NRD) pathway. NRD eliminates the RNA component of mature but defective ribosomal subunits and ribosomes. NRD was discovered using rDNA reporter plasmids to express and track the fate of rRNA containing...
