In the accompanying paper, it was shown that a protein, while reverting to native form from the unfolded state in vitro with the help of bacterial 70S ribosome, split the latter into its subunits (50S and 30S) and remains associated with the 50S subunit. Here, we follow the fate of nascent proteins both in case of in vivo and in vitro translation system. The newly synthesised protein was found to associate with the 50S subunit in both the cases.

Article Synopsis
- RbgA is a GTPase that plays a crucial role in the maturation of the 50S ribosomal subunit, favoring its GTP-bound state over the GDP-bound state due to conformational differences.
- All-atom molecular dynamics simulations revealed significant conformational changes in RbgA depending on the bound nucleotide, particularly under GTP-Mg and GMPPNP-Mg conditions, which may impact its function.
- The study identifies key regions that influence RbgA's ribosome association and suggests that understanding these mechanisms can help develop new chemical agents to regulate ribosome biogenesis.

The intricate process of 50S ribosomal subunit assembly in Bacillus subtilis involves multiple parallel pathways converging into a crucial intermediate known as the 45S particle. RbgA and YphC, play pivotal roles in completing the maturation of the functional sites in the 45S particle. In this work, we found that RbgA and YphC can independently bind the 45S particle with high affinity, but when RbgA binds first to the particle, it significantly increases the binding affinity of YphC.

Chloramphenicol (CAM), a well-known broad-spectrum antibiotic, inhibits peptide bond formation in bacterial ribosomes. It has been reported to affect ribosome assembly mainly through disrupting the balance of ribosomal proteins. The present study investigates the multifaceted effects of CAM on the maturation of the 50S ribosomal subunit in ().

Linezolid binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by preventing the formation of the initiation complex. Oxazolidinone antimicrobial drugs represent the last line of defense in treating Staphylococcus aureus infections; thus, resistance to linezolid in S. aureus warrants high priority.

Ribosome hibernation is a commonly used strategy that protects ribosomes under unfavorable conditions and regulates developmental processes. Multiple ribosome-hibernation factors have been identified in all domains of life, but due to their structural diversity and the lack of a common inactivation mechanism, it is currently unknown how many different hibernation factors exist. Here, we show that the YqjD/ElaB/YgaM paralogs, initially discovered as membrane-bound ribosome binding proteins in E.
