Abstract excerpt
4.5S RNA is essential for viability of Escherichia coli, and forms a key component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), a ubiquitous ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for cotranslational targeting of secretory proteins. 4.5S RNA also binds independently to elongation factor G (EF-G), a five-domain GTPase that catalyzes the translocation step during protein biosynthesis on the ribosome. Point mutations in...
