Protein synthesis consumes a large fraction of available resources in the cell. When bacteria
encounter unfavorable conditions and cease to grow, specialized mechanisms are in place …

In response to nutrient deprivation and environmental insults, bacteria conjoin two copies of
non-translating 70S ribosomes that form the translationally inactive 100S dimer. This …

Ribosome hibernation is a key survival strategy bacteria adopt under environmental stress,
where a protein, hibernation promotion factor (HPF), transitorily inactivates the ribosome …

To survive under conditions of stress, such as nutrient deprivation, bacterial 70S ribosomes
dimerize to form hibernating 100S particles. In γ-proteobacteria, such as Escherichia coli …

Protein synthesis is a major energy-consuming process of the cell that requires the
controlled production,–and turnover, of ribosomes. Although the past few years have seen …

Bacteria respond to zinc starvation by replacing ribosomal proteins that have the zinc-
binding CXXC motif (C+) with their zinc-free (C−) paralogues. Consequences of this process …

Ribosome hibernation is a universal translation stress response found in bacteria as well as
plant plastids. The term was coined almost two decades ago and despite recent insights …

Under stress conditions, such as nutrient deprivation, bacteria enter into a hibernation stage,
which is characterized by the appearance of 100S ribosomal particles. In Escherichia coli …

The bacterial hibernating 100S ribosome is a poorly understood form of the dimeric 70S
particle that has been linked to pathogenesis, translational repression, starvation responses …

Oxygenic photosynthesis produces oxygen and builds a variety of organic compounds,
changing the chemistry of the air, the sea and fuelling the food chain on our planet. The …
