While heterogeneity in ribosome composition has been reported in bacteria, protozoans, fungi, zebrafish, mice and humans, its functional implications remain actively debated. Here, we review recent evidence demonstrating that expression of conserved variant ribosomal DNA (rDNA) alleles in bacteria, mice and humans renders their actively translating ribosome pool intrinsically heterogeneous at the level of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). In this context, we discuss reports that nutrient limitation-induced stress in Escherichia coli leads to changes in variant rRNA allele expression, programmatically altering transcription and cellular phenotype. We highlight that cells expressing ribosomes from distinct operons exhibit distinct drug sensitivities, which can be recapitulated in vitro and potentially rationalized by subtle perturbations in ribosome structure or in their dynamic properties. Finally, we discuss evidence that differential expression of variant rDNA alleles results in different populations of ribosome subtypes within mammalian tissues. These findings motivate further research into the impacts of rRNA heterogeneities on ribosomal function and predict that strategies targeting distinct ribosome subtypes may hold therapeutic potential.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue 'Ribosome diversity and its impact on protein synthesis, development and disease'.
