Abstract excerpt
Post-transcriptional modifications of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are involved in ribosome biogenesis and fine-tuning of translation. 5-Hydroxycytidine (ho5C), a modification of unknown biogenesis and function, is present at position 2501 of Escherichia coli 23S rRNA. We conducted a genome-wide screen in E. coli to identify genes required for ho5C2501 formation, and found a previously-uncharacterized gene, ydcP...
