Ribosome biogenesis involves the hierarchical assembly of several proteins and RNA components. Here the authors describe a mechanism for ribosomal protein S3 incorporation into 40S ribosomal subunits that involves S3 dimerization and stepwise incorporation of two distinct S3 interaction domains coupled to release of ribosomal maturation factors.
