This processing, and the subsequent assembly of the large and small ribosomal subunits are carried out in the nucleolus, a region of the nucleus specialized for ribosome production, and containing not only high concentrations of rRNA and ribsomal proteins, but also RNA polymerase I and RNA polymerase III.
