Ribosomal subunits are synthesized in the nucleus, and mature 40S and 60S subunits are exported stoichiometrically into the cytoplasm. Both 40S and 60S subunits are composed of four RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. Mitochondrial ribosomes consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. Ribosomal proteins have the ability to pass through the nuclear envelope in the native state, making them the largest of the structures accommodated by the nuclear pore complexes. The nuclear export of ribosomal subunits is a unidirectional, saturable and energy-dependent process.Ribosomal Protein S2 is part of the 40S subunit that mediates aminoacyl-transfer RNA binding to the ribosome, thereby affecting the fidelity of mRNA translation. Ribosomal Protein S2 is methylated by protein arginine methyltransferase 3 (PRMT3), which may inhibit ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of Ribosomal Protein S2. Ribosomal Protein S2 expression has been shown to be elevated in human premalignant leukoplakia, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and colon and breast cancers, making it a potentially useful diagnostic marker for some human tumors.
