The ribosome synchronizes folding and assembly to promote oligomeric protein biogenesis Large oligomeric proteins constitute a major fraction of proteomes, but are difficult to refold in vitro, raising the question of how cells direct their biogenesis. Roeselová and Shivakumaraswamy et al. show how the ribosome orchestrates efficient cotranslational folding and assembly.
