The nucleolar DExD/H protein Hel66 is involved in ribosome biogenesis in Trypanosoma brucei
Abstract The biosynthesis of ribosomes is a complex cellular process involving ribosomal RNA, ribosomal proteins and several further trans-acting factors. DExD/H box proteins constitute the largest family of trans-acting protein factors involved in this process. Several members of this protein famil...
