YbxF, a protein associated with exponential-phase ribosomes in Bacillus subtilis

Abstrakt

A basic protein YbxF, the product of the ybxF gene of an unknown function and the member of the streptomycin operon, associates in Bacillus subtilis with exponential-phase ribosomes (50S ribosomal subunit). Lys24 is crucial for the interaction.
