ErmC is a methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of A2058 of the 23S ribosomal RNA in two steps. Expression of ErmC is inducible by erythromycin. The leader peptide causes attenuation of the mRNA and stabilizes the structure preventing further translation. When erythromycin is present, it binds the leader peptide causing a change in conformation allowing for the expression of ErmC.
Large ribosomal subunit protein uL24, C-terminal domain
This entry describes the C-terminal domain in large ribosomal subunit protein uL24 (also known as RPL26). RPL26 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In their mature form, these proteins have 103 to 150 amino-acid residues. RPL26 m ...
This entry describes the C-terminal domain in large ribosomal subunit protein uL24 (also known as RPL26). RPL26 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In their mature form, these proteins have 103 to 150 amino-acid residues. RPL26 makes very minor contributions to the biogenesis structure, and function of 60s ribosomal subunits [1]. However, RPL24 is essential to generate the first intermediate during 50s ribosomal subunits assembly [2]. RPL26 have an extra-ribosomal function to enhances p53 translation after DNA damage [3].
