Ribosome Biogenesis in “War and Peace of the Cell”

Dear Colleagues,

Intense investigations by numerous groups have identified a large number of assembly and modification steps in the ribosome biogenesis in both pro- and eukaryotes. Interestingly, the formation of ribosomes has sufficient flexibility to accommodate changing environmental conditions and even mutations in many ribosomal genes, although this can result in altered organismal phenotypes. I invite manuscripts addressing both the mechanics and regulation of ribosome biogenesis for submission to the special volume. Please consider submitting research and review manuscripts to this volume.
Below is a list of anticipated key words and phrases, but do not feel limited by this list:
•    changes to the ribosome assembly pathway and kinetics in response to growth conditions, cell signaling, cell differentiation, and mutations
•    regulation of surveillance of the ribosome biogenesis
•    degradation and inactivation of mature ribosomes
•    interactions of ribosome biogenesis with other processes in nucle(o)lus and cytoplasm
•    coordination of other cellular processes, such as cell division, with the ribosome assembly process
•    deviations from the canonical model of economy of ribosome biogenesis and cell growth.
•    Transport of ribosomal components and particles

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
