title: Regulation of rRNA processing: a role for a unique GTPase.
abstract: Recent findings by Karbstein et al. (2005 [this issue of Molecular Cell]) reveal that association of the preribosomal biosynthesis factors U3 snoRNA and Rcl1p is controlled by the GTPase Bms1p, suggesting that regulatory events are involved in the formation of ribosome biogenesis complexes.
