Abstract excerpt
The Sra protein is a component of the 30S ribosomal subunit while RimJ is a ribosome-associated protein that plays a role in the maturation of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Here we found that Δsra and ΔrimJ cells showed a delayed initiation of DNA replication, prolonged doubling time, decreased cell size, and decreased amounts of total protein and DnaA per cell compared with these observed for wild-type cells. A...
