Probable lipoprotein aminopeptidase LpqL; An aminopeptidase; acts on free N-terminal amino groups with a very strong preference for Leu in the first position. Belongs to the peptidase M28 family. M28A subfamily.

Conserved protein; Rv1770, (MTCY28.36), len: 428 aa. Conserved protein,highly similar in N-terminus to Q49882 Hypothetical protein from Mycobacterium leprae from cosmid L247 (83 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 301, E(): 1e-12, (56.5% identity in 85 aa overlap).

30S ribosomal protein S4 RpsD; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS4 family.

30S ribosomal protein S11 RpsK; Located on the platform of the 30S subunit, it bridges several disparate RNA helices of the 16S rRNA. Forms part of the Shine- Dalgarno cleft in the 70S ribosome; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.

Probable cold-shock DeaD-box protein A homolog DeaD (ATP-dependent RNA helicase dead homolog); DEAD-box RNA helicase involved in various cellular processes at low temperature, including ribosome biogenesis, mRNA degradation and translation initiation.

Rv3211, (MTCY07D11.15c), len: 527 aa. Probable rhlE,ATP-dependent RNA helicase, equivalent (but shorter 22 aa) to Q9CCH3|RHLE|ML0811 putative ATP-dependent RNA helicase from Mycobacterium leprae (544 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2497, E(): 8.7e-131, (74.75% identity in 531 aa overlap).

30S ribosomal protein S1 RpsA; Binds mRNA, facilitating recognition of most mRNAs by the 30S ribosomal subunit during translation initiation (By similarity). Probably plays a role in trans-translation; binds tmRNA (the product of the ssrA gene). In trans-translation Ala- aminoacylated transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA, product of the ssrA gene; the 2 termini fold to resemble tRNA(Ala) while it encodes a short internal open reading frame (the tag peptide)) acts like a tRNA, entering the A-site of the ribosome and displacing the stalled mRNA (which is subsequently degraded). The ribosome the [...]
