Abstract excerpt
BipA is a conserved translational GTPase of bacteria recently implicated in ribosome biogenesis. Here we show that Escherichia coli ΔbipA cells grown at suboptimal temperature accumulate immature large subunit particles missing several proteins. These include L17 and L17-dependent binders, suggesting that structural block 3 of the subunit folds late in the assembly process. Parallel analysis of the control strain...
