Both ChpS and ChpB [...] (116 aa)
valSvalyl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val). As ValRS can inadvertently accommodate and process structurally similar amino acids such as threonine, to avoid such errors, it has a 'posttransfer' editing activity that hydrolyzes mischarged Thr-tRNA(Val) in a tRNA- dependent manner.

Stimulates dipeptide bond synthesis in the presence of ATP (cell in high energy state), but inhibits dipeptide synthesis in the presence of ADP (cell in low energy state), and thus may control translation in [...] (555 aa)
yoeBToxin of the YoeB-YefM toxin-antitoxin system; Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Its mode of function is controversial; it has been proposed to be an mRNA interferase but also an inhibitor of translation initiation. When overproduced in wild-type cells, inhibits bacterial growth and translation by cleavage of mRNA molecules while it has a weak effect on colony forming ability. Overproduction of Lon protease specifically activates YoeB-dependent mRNA cleavage, leading to lethality. YefM binds to the promoter region of the yefM-yeoB operon to repress transcription [...] (84 aa)

(180 aa)
thrSthreonyl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the attachment of threonine to tRNA(Thr) in a two- step reaction: L-threonine is first activated by ATP to form Thr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Thr). The rate-limiting step is amino acid activation in the presence of tRNA.

tsfTranslation elongation factor EF-Ts; Associates with the EF-Tu.GDP complex and induces the exchange of GDP to GTP. It remains bound to the aminoacyl-tRNA.EF- Tu.GTP complex up to the GTP hydrolysis stage on the ribosome. (Microbial infection) Promotes the tRNase activity of CdiA-CT from E.coli strain EC869 (CdiA-CT-EC869); required in vivo but less so in vitro. Probably loads charged tRNA onto EF-Tu, making more ternary GTP-EF-Tu-aa-tRNA complexes. The guanine nucleotide exchange factor capacity of this protein does not seem to be needed as no GTP hydrolysis occurs during tRNA cleavag [...] (283 aa)
acnBAconitate hydratase 2; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)(acetyl degradation route) and the 2- methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the reversible isomerization of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate. Also catalyzes the hydration of 2-methyl-cis-aconitate to yield (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate. The apo form of AcnB functions as a RNA- binding regulatory protein. During oxidative stress inactive AcnB apo- enzyme without iron sulfur clusters binds the acnB mRNA 3' UTRs (untranslated regions), stabilize [...] (865 aa)
secMRegulator of secA translation; Regulates secA expression by translational coupling of the secM secA operon. Ribosomes translating the C-terminal region of secM can disrupt an RNA repressor helix that normally blocks secA translation initiation, derepressing the expression of secA. Translational pausing of secM at Pro-166 under secretion-limiting conditions increases the duration of the disruption and thus increases secA expression. This is controlled by interaction of the secM signal peptide with secA and the translocon, possibly by secA pulling the paused secM out of the ribosome. The [...] (170 aa)
rplT50S ribosomal subunit protein L20; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds close to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. (118 aa)
