Structure of the Brx1 and Ebp2 complex
Structural highlights
Function[EBP2_YEAST] Required for the processing of the 27S pre-rRNA. Probably involved in the step of the processing of the 27 SA precursor into the 27 SB intermediate.[1] [2] [BRX1_YEAST] Required for biogenesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit.[3] Publication Abstract from PubMedAssembly of eukaryotic ribosome is a complicated and dynamic process that involves a series of intermediates. It is unknown how the highly intertwined structure of 60S large ribosomal subunits is established. Here, we report the structure of an early nucleolar pre-60S ribosome determined by cryo-electron microscopy at 3.7 A resolution, revealing a half-assembled subunit. Domains I, II and VI of 25S/5.8S rRNA pack tightly into a native-like substructure, but domains III, IV and V are not assembled. The structure contains 12 assembly factors and 19 ribosomal proteins, many of which are required for early processing of large subunit rRNA. The Brx1-Ebp2 complex would interfere with the assembly of domains IV and V. Rpf1, Mak16, Nsa1 and Rrp1 form a cluster that consolidates the joining of domains I and II. Our structure reveals a key intermediate on the path to establishing the global architecture of 60S subunits.
