Interaction between Bmsl and Rcll, two ribosome biogenesis factors, is evolutionally conserved in zebrafish and human

Ribosomes are large RNA and protein complexes that function as the machinery for translation protein synthesis （Boisvert et al., 2007; Ben-Shem et al., 2011： Henras et al., 2015： Kbatter et al., 2015; McCann et al., 2015）. The eukaryotic ribosome is composed of two subunits, the 60S large subunit （LSU） and the 40S small sub- unit （SSU）, which collectively comprise of four different ribosomal RNA （rRNA） species and more than 70 proteins （Ben-Sbem et al., 2011： Henras et al., 2015; Khatter et al., 2015）. The LSU contains the 28S, 5.8S and 5S rRNAs and the SSU contains the 18S rRNA. The assembly of each subunit is initiated in the nucleolus using the respective rRNAs as backbones （Ben-Shem et al., 2011; Henras et al., 2015; Khatter et al., 2015）.
