Abstract excerpt
During the stationary phase of Escherichia coli growth, ribosomal structure changes drastically. Proteins RMF, YhbH, YfiA and SRA are expressed and bind to ribosome particles. In a process named 'ribosomal hibernation,' RMF binding induces the dimerization and subsequent inactivation of 70S ribosomes. Here, we examined the functions of YhbH and YfiA in the formation of 70S dimers using deletion mutants of YhbH...
