Era (E. coliRas-like protein) is a highly conserved and essential GTPase in bacteria. It binds to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the small (30S) ribosomal subunit, and its depletion leads to accumulation of an unprocessed precursor of the 16S rRNA. We have obtained a three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopic map of the Thermus thermophilus 30S-Era complex ...
