Building ribosomes: even more expensive than expected?

Curr Biol. 2007 Jun 5;17(11):R415-7. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2007.04.011.

Abstract

Recent quantitative analyses of ribosomal protein trafficking in HeLa cells have revealed a prominent and unexpected role for the proteasome in regulating the availability of ribosomal proteins for subunit assembly.
