Functional Importance of Mobile Ribosomal Proteins

Figure 7

Deletions of r-proteins affect . Calculation of is explained in Methods. Red sphere: wild-type position of . Blue sphere: mutant’s , where the outermost L12 dimer and its bound L10 CTD segment are deleted (right inset). Green sphere: of the L9 deletion mutant. Gray sphere: of the compensatory double mutant with aforementioned deletions. Nucleotides of PTC (A2451, U2506, U2585, C2452, and A2602 of 23S rRNA) are shown as sticks.
