Synthesis of ribosomes begins in the nucleolus with formation of the 90S pre-ribosome, during which the pre-40S and pre-60S pathways diverge by pre-rRNA cleavage. However, it remains unclear how, after this uncoupling, the earliest pre-60S subunit continues to develop. Here, we reveal a large-subunit intermediate at the beginning of its construction when still linked to the 90S, the precursor to the 40S subunit. This primordial pre-60S is characterized by the SPOUT domain methyltransferase Upa1- ...[more]
