80S-like ribosomes join via an immature interface. (A) In 80S-like preribosomes, the space between the subunits is expanded. Mature 80S/80S-like identifies each structure (bold italics). 60S/40S/pre-40S identify each subunit (bold). Structural elements are identified in each subunit (lower case). 60S is light blue and 40S and pre-40S are yellow. (B) Overall structure of 80S-like ribosomes. Dim1 is dark blue and Tsr1 is green. (C) The pre-40S interface has only the AFs Tsr1 (green) and Dim1 (blue) bound. The structure is viewed from the point of view of the 60S subunit.
