Abstract excerpt
Ribosome biogenesis has been studied extensively in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast Ltv1 is a conserved 40S-associated biogenesis factor that has been proposed to function in small subunit nuclear export. Here we show that Ltv1 has a canonical leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) at its extreme C terminus that is both necessary for Crm1 interaction and Ltv1 export. The C terminus of Ltv1 can...
