tRNA(Gln,Lys,Glu) U34 2-thiouridylase; Catalyzes the 2-thiolation of uridine at the wobble position (U34) of tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln), leading to the formation of s(2)U34, the first step of tRNA-mnm(5)s(2)U34 synthesis. Sulfur is provided by IscS, via a sulfur-relay system. Binds ATP and its substrate tRNAs.

16S rRNA m(7)G527 methyltransferase, SAM-dependent; Specifically methylates the N7 position of guanine in position 527 of 16S rRNA. Requires the intact 30S subunit for methylation; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. RNA methyltransferase RsmG family.

Cell division GTP-binding protein; Necessary for normal cell division and for the maintenance of normal septation. Depletion of this protein leads to a severe reduction in growth rate and to extensive filamentation, with a block beyond the stage of segregation. Essential for bacteria survival. Belongs to the TRAFAC class TrmE-Era-EngA-EngB-Septin-like GTPase superfamily. EngB GTPase family.

tRNA 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine biosynthesis bifunctional protein MnmC; Catalyzes the last two steps in the biosynthesis of 5- methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (mnm(5)s(2)U) at the wobble position (U34) in tRNA. Catalyzes the FAD-dependent demodification of cmnm(5)s(2)U34 to nm(5)s(2)U34, followed by the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to nm(5)s(2)U34, to form mnm(5)s(2)U34; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. tRNA (mnm(5)s(2)U34)-methyltransferase family.

Membrane protein insertase; Inner membrane protein required for the insertion and/or proper folding and/or complex formation of integral inner membrane proteins. Involved in integration of membrane proteins that insert dependently and independently of the Sec translocase complex, as well as at least 2 lipoproteins. Its own insertion requires SRP and is Sec translocase-dependent. Essential for the integration of Sec-dependent subunit a of the F(0)ATP synthase, FtsQ and SecE proteins and for Sec- independent subunit c of the F(0)ATP synthase, M13 phage procoat and the N-terminus of leade [...]

Protein C5 component of RNase P; RNaseP catalyzes the removal of the 5'-leader sequence from pre-tRNA to produce the mature 5'-terminus. It can also cleave other RNA substrates such as 4.5S RNA. The protein component plays an auxiliary but essential role in vivo by binding to the 5'-leader sequence and broadening the substrate specificity of the ribozyme.

23S rRNA pseudouridine(1911,1915,1917) synthase; Responsible for synthesis of pseudouridine from uracil at positions 1911, 1915 and 1917 in 23S ribosomal RNA. Isomerization occurs as a late step during the assembly of the large ribosomal subunit.

50S ribosomal subunit protein L34; Protein involved in structural constituent of ribosome and translation; Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL34 family.

GTPase involved in cell partioning and DNA repair; An abundant, essential GTPase which binds GTP, GDP and ppGpp with moderate affinity. Has high guanosine nucleotide exchange rate constants for GTP and GDP, and a relatively low GTP hydrolysis rate stimulated by the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is estimated there are 34000 molecules in log-phase cells and 5600 molecules in stationary- phase cells. Required for chromosome segregation. Plays a role in the stringent response, perhaps by sequestering 50S ribosomal subunits and decreasing protein synthesis , and a non-essential role in the late [...]
