rRNA methylation by Spb1 regulates the GTPase activity of Nog2 during 60S ribosomal subunit assembly

Regulation of 60S biogenesis remains poorly understood. Using cryo-EM, the authors show that failure of Spb1 to methylate the A-loop nucleotide G2922  prematurely activates the GTPase Nog2, suggesting that Spb1 and Nog2 form a kinetic checkpoint during ribosome maturation.
