Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) synthesize a small subset of proteins,
which are essential components of the oxidative phosphorylation machinery. Therefore, their …

Symbiotic partnerships with rhizobial bacteria enable legumes to grow without nitrogen
fertilizer because rhizobia convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into ammonia via nitrogenase …

In the bacterial community, unicellular organisms act together as a multicellular being.
Bacteria interact within the community and programmed cell death (PCD) in prokaryotes is a …

The GC skew in vertebrate mitochondrial genomes results in synthesis of RNAs that are
prone to form G-quadruplexes (G4s). Such RNAs, although mostly non-coding, are …

Ribosome biogenesis requires numerous trans-acting factors, some of which are deeply
conserved. In Bacteria, the endoribonuclease YbeY is believed to be involved in 16S rRNA …

YbeY is a highly conserved, multifunctional endoribonuclease that plays a significant role in
ribosome biogenesis and has several additional roles. Here we show that overexpression of …

Mitochondria are the power houses of eukaryote cells. These endosymbiotic organelles of
prokaryote origin are considered as semi-autonomous since they have retained a genome …

Single-strand specific endoribonuclease YbeY has been shown to play an important role in
the processing of the 3′ end of the 16S rRNA in Escherichia coli. Lack of YbeY results in …

Mitochondria contain their own translation apparatus which enables them to produce the
polypeptides encoded in their genome. The mitochondrially-encoded RNA components of …

YbeY is an ultraconserved small protein belonging to the unique heritage shared by most
existing bacteria and eukaryotic organelles of bacterial origin, mitochondria and …
