The assembly factors Rei1 and Reh1 share a redundant function in loading ribosomal protein eL24.

The correct assembly of ribosomes is essential for viability and faithful gene expression. In eukaryotic cells, the pre-40S and pre-60S ribosomal subunits are largely pre-assembled in the nucleolus before they are exported to the cytoplasm for final maturation. Although most ribosomal proteins of the large subunit are...
