Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic Analysis of the Mammalian Mitochondrial Ribosome IDENTIFICATION OF PROTEIN COMPONENTS IN THE 28 S SMALL SUBUNIT
Tsutomu Suzuki,Maki Terasaki,Chie Takemoto-Hori,Takao Hanada,Takuya Ueda,Akira Wada,Kimitsuna Watanabe +6 more
TL;DR: A mitochondrial homologue of S12 is clearly identified, which is a key regulatory protein of translation fidelity and a candidate for the autosomal dominant deafness gene, DFNA4, indicating a new function for the mitoribosome in programmed cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ribosome binding proteins YhbH and YfiA have opposite functions during 100S formation in the stationary phase of Escherichia coli
TL;DR: YhbH and YfiA have opposite functions in 70S dimer formation, suggesting that their binding sites overlap and they compete for a region proximal to the P‐ and A‐sites on 30S subunits.
Journal ArticleDOI
The GTP binding protein Obg homolog ObgE is involved in ribosome maturation
Aya Sato,Gengo Kobayashi,Hiroshi Hayashi,Hideji Yoshida,Akira Wada,Maki Maeda,Sota Hiraga,Kunio Takeyasu,Chieko Wada +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence implicates that ObgE functions in ribosomal biogenesis, presumably through the binding to rRNAs and/or rRNA‐ribosomal protein complexes, perhaps as an rRNA/ribosome protein folding chaperone or scaffold protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural compensation for the deficit of rRNA with proteins in the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome. Systematic analysis of protein components of the large ribosomal subunit from mammalian mitochondria.
Tsutomu Suzuki,Maki Terasaki,Chie Takemoto-Hori,Takao Hanada,Takuya Ueda,Akira Wada,Kimitsuna Watanabe +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the proteins with binding sites on rRNA shortened or lost in the mitoribosome were enlarged when compared with the E. coli counterparts; this suggests the structural compensation of the rRNA deficit by the enlarged proteins in themitorIBosome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth phase coupled modulation of Escherichia coli ribosomes.
TL;DR: The interconversion of ribosomes between active 70S and inactive 100S by RMF is a cellular mechanism controlling translation.
