The evolution lifecycle of ribosome hibernation factors

Lewis I. Chan, Kimiho Omae, Charlotte R. Brown, Kazuaki Amikura, Chinenye L. Ekemezie, Jessica Clark, Kenji Nishide, Karla Helena-Bueno, Paweł Palmowski, Andrew Porter, Shino Suzuki, Sergey V. Melnikov

The paper analyzes 46,015 bacterial genomes to show hibernation factors evolved from large proteins, reduced in size, and were lost in over 10% of species, with some bacteria borrowing factors from others.

Evolutionary flexibility of ribosome biogenesis in bacteria

Kazuaki Amikura, Shun’ichi Ishii, Yoshihiro Shimizu, Shino Suzuki

The paper analyzes over 30,000 bacterial genomes to show that CPR bacteria have fewer ribosome biogenesis factors, suggesting evolutionary flexibility in ribosome assembly.
