50S ribosomal subunit protein L32; Protein involved in structural constituent of ribosome and translation.

50S ribosomal subunit protein A; Protein involved in structural constituent of ribosome and translation; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL35 family.

Translation initiation factor IF-3; One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis.IF-3 binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and shifts the equilibrum between 70S ribosomes and their 50S and 30S subunits in favor of the free subunits, thus enhancing the availability of 30S subunits on which protein synthesis initiation begins.

50S ribosomal subunit protein L19; This protein is located at the 30S-50S ribosomal subunit interface. In the 70S ribosome it has been modeled to make two contacts with the 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit forming part of bridges B6 and B8. In the 3.5 A resolved structures L14 and L19 interact and together make contact with the 16S rRNA. The protein conformation is quite different between the 50S and 70S structures, which may be necessary for translocation.

(p)ppGpp synthetase I/GTP pyrophosphokinase; In eubacteria ppGpp (guanosine 3'-diphosphate 5-' diphosphate) is a mediator of the stringent response which coordinates a variety of cellular activities in response to changes in nutritional abundance. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of pppGpp which is then hydrolyzed to form ppGpp. The second messengers ppGpp and c-di-GMP together control biofilm formation in response to translational stress; ppGpp represses biofilm formation while c-di-GMP induces it. ppGpp activates transcription of CsrA-antagonistic small RNAs CsrB and CsrC, which d [...]

30S ribosomal subunit protein S15; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit by binding and bridging several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA. Binds to its own mRNA, stabilizing it 5-UTR and preventing its translation.

50S ribosomal subunit protein L27; Protein involved in structural constituent of ribosome and translation.

50S ribosomal subunit protein L21; This protein binds to 23S rRNA in the presence of protein L20.

30S ribosomal subunit protein S9; The C-terminal tail plays a role in the affinity of the 30S P site for different tRNAs. Mutations that decrease this affinity are suppressed in the 70S ribosome.
