Abstract excerpt
The temperature-sensitive mutation, dob1-1, was identified in a screen for dependence on overexpression of the yeast translation initiation factor eIF4B (Tif3p). Dob1p is an essential putative ATP-dependent RNA helicase. Polysome analyses revealed an under accumulation of 60S ribosomal subunits in the dob1-1 mutant. Pulse-chase labelling of pre-rRNA showed that this was due to a defect in the synthesis of the...
