2RQL - PubMed Abstract: 
The 70S Escherichia coli ribosome dimerizes to form an inactive 100S ribosome during stationary phase, which is called "ribosome hibernation". The hibernation promoting factor HPF plays a crucial role in 100S ribosome formation. However, YfiA, a known paralog of HPF inhibits 100S formation, although it shares high sequence similarity ...
