Thein vitroformation of stable G-quadruplexes (G4s) in human rRNA was recently reported. However, their formation in cells and their cellular roles were not 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 G4sin vivothat regulate heme bioavailability. Immunofluorescence experiments indicate that the vast majority of extra-nuclear G4s are associated with rRNA. Moreover, titrating human cells with a G4 ligand alters the ability of ribosomes to bind heme and disrupts cellular heme bioavailability as measured by a genetically encoded fluorescent heme sensor. Overall, these results suggest that ribosomes play a role in regulating heme homeostasis.
