Cryo-EM structure of the hibernating Thermus thermophilus 100S ribosome reveals a protein-mediated dimerization mechanism

During stress conditions bacterial ribosomes dimerize and form inactive but stable hibernating 100S particles, a process that is facilitated by the hibernation-promoting factor (HPF). Here the authors analyze 100S dimer formation as a function of HPF protein concentration and present the Thermus the...

Description
Résumé:During stress conditions bacterial ribosomes dimerize and form inactive but stable hibernating 100S particles, a process that is facilitated by the hibernation-promoting factor (HPF). Here the authors analyze 100S dimer formation as a function of HPF protein concentration and present the Thermus thermophilus 100S ribosome cryo-EM structure.
