Description:
Article The protein kinase Rio1 is known to promote 40S ribosome formation in the cytoplasm. Using budding yeast, the authors here show that Rio1 also acts in the nucleus, downregulates rDNA transcription by Pol I, and activates the processing of its transcripts to ensure rDNA stability and segregation.
