Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Probably redox-responsive. The apo- but not holo-form probably binds DNA.
Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per subunit. Following nitrosylation of the [4Fe-4S] cluster binds 1 [4Fe-8(NO)] cluster per subunit.
The Fe-S cluster can be nitrosylated by nitric oxide (NO).
Upon Fe-S cluster removal intramolecular disulfide bonds are formed.
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family.
Binds 23S rRNA and is also seen to make contacts with the A and possibly P site tRNAs.
Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL36 family.
Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS18 family.
Binds as a heterodimer with protein S6 to the central domain of the 16S rRNA, where it helps stabilize the platform of the 30S subunit.
Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Forms a tight heterodimer with protein S6.
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS12 family.
Interacts with and stabilizes bases of the 16S rRNA that are involved in tRNA selection in the A site and with the mRNA backbone. Located at the interface of the 30S and 50S subunits, it traverses the body of the 30S subunit contacting proteins on the other side and probably holding the rRNA structure together. The combined cluster of proteins S8, S12 and S17 appears to hold together the shoulder and platform of the 30S subunit.
Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins S8 and S17. May interact with IF1 in the 30S initiation complex.
With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL28 family.
Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that transfer electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions.
Belongs to the RNA polymerase-binding protein RbpA family.
Binds to RNA polymerase (RNAP), stimulating transcription from principal, but not alternative sigma factor promoters.
Forms a complex with the RNAP catalytic core and with free principal sigma factors.
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS7 family.
One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center, probably blocks exit of the E-site tRNA.
Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins S9 and S11.
Component of the 30S ribosomal translation pre-initiation complex which assembles on the 30S ribosome in the order IF-2 and IF-3, IF-1 and N-formylmethionyl-tRNA(fMet); mRNA recruitment can occur at any time during PIC assembly.
One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Stabilizes the binding of IF-2 and IF-3 on the 30S subunit to which N-formylmethionyl-tRNA(fMet) subsequently binds. Helps modulate mRNA selection, yielding the 30S pre-initiation complex (PIC). Upon addition of the 50S ribosomal subunit IF-1, IF-2 and IF-3 are released leaving the mature 70S translation initiation complex.
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS10 family.
Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes.
Belongs to the RNA polymerase subunit omega family.
Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C-terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.
The RNAP catalytic core consists of 2 alpha, 1 beta, 1 beta' and 1 omega subunit. When a sigma factor is associated with the core the holoenzyme is formed, which can initiate transcription.
Belongs to the bacterial histone-like protein family.
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
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.
Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Interacts with proteins S7 and S18. Binds to IF-3.
