Pre-60S subunit protein composition changes dramatically leading up to and during ITS2 processing. (A and B) Sequential pre-60S subunit assembly intermediates were purified from yeast via TAP-tagged AFs Nsa1, Nog2, or Nmd3. The protein composition of the purified pre-60S subunits was analyzed via mass spectrometry (A) and by SDS-PAGE followed by silver staining and Western blotting (B). (C) A working model for the pathway of 60S subunit assembly. The association and dissociation of AFs with pre-60S subunits are indicated as is the timing of pre-rRNA processing events. The lifetimes of the Nsa1, Nog2, and Nmd3 particles are shown; Nsa1 enters preribosomes during early stages of 60S subunit assembly.
