Abstract excerpt
Ribosomes are essential components of all cells. A large body of knowledge has been accumulated regarding ribosome synthesis and assembly; however, the pathways of normal ribosome turnover, especially rRNA decay, are not known. Some information on ribosome recycling derives from studies on starved yeast cells that use a specialized type of autophagy, called ribophagy, to differentially target ribosomes for...
