The in vitro formation of stable G-quadruplexes (G4s) in human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was recently reported. However, their formation in cells and their cellular roles have not been resolved. Here, by taking a chemical biology approach that integrates results from immunofluorescence, G4 ligands, heme affinity reagents, and a genetically encoded fluorescent heme sensor, we report that human ribosomes can form G4s in vivo that regulate heme bioavailability. ...
