Abstract excerpt
Ribosome biogenesis is critical for postembryonic development progression in Caenorhabditis elegans. Although maternally supplied ribosomes allow null mutants of ribosomal protein genes to complete embryogenesis, subsequent larval stages arrest if de novo ribosome production is compromised. Here, we compared null mutants in large (rpl-5, rpl-33) and small (rps-10, rps-23) ribosomal subunit genes with mutants...
