Ribosomes are large ribozymes that synthesize all cellular proteins. As protein synthesis is rate-limiting for bacterial growth and ribosomes can comprise a large portion of the cellular mass, elucidation of ribosomal turnover is important to the understanding of cellular physiology. Although ribosomes are widely believed to be stable in growing cells, this has never been rigorously tested, owing to the lack of a suitable experimental system in commonly used bacterial model organisms. Here, we d ...[more]
