Abstract excerpt
A cold-shock protein, RbfA (ribosome-binding factor A), is essential for cell growth at low temperature. In an rbfA-deletion strain, 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits increase relative to 70S monosomes with concomitant accumulation of a precursor 16S rRNA (17S rRNA). Recently, we have reported that overexpression of Era, an essential GTP-binding protein, suppresses not only the cold-sensitive cell growth but also...
