Abstract
The 3′ end of the 18S ribosomal RNA is formed by the endoribonuclease Nob1. How cells ensure the accuracy of the 3′ end has remained a mystery. A new study in PLOS Biology revealed that there are multiple checkpoints to ensure that only ribosomes containing the correct 3′ end participate in translation.
