Abstract:

The biosynthesis and activity of the translational apparatus, encompassing rRNA, ribosomal proteins, tRNA, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, translation factors, and modifying enzymes, represent a major investment of cellular resources. This chapter summarizes available information about translational gene organization and expression in and other gram-positive organisms, incorporating new information from the genome sequence, and provides comparisons to the extensive information available about these systems in . Additional ribosomal protein genes are scattered around the genome, either alone or in small groups. All are transcribed in the same direction as DNA replication, with the exception of rpsD, rpsT, and rpmB. Translation elongation requires elongation factor (EF)-Tu to bring aminoacylated tRNA into the A site of the elongating ribosome, EF-Ts to recycle EF-Tu from its inactive GDP-bound state to the GTP-bound state required for tRNA binding, and EFG, which is required for translocation of the ribosome along the mRNA. There are 86 tRNA genes in the genome, most of which are organized in large rrn-associated clusters while others are scattered around the genome. The formylation of methionine on initiator tRNA-Met is carried out by the product of the gene, which is located downstream of the , the product of which removes the formyl group from the amino terminus of newly synthesized proteins.

TABLE 6

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARS)

T box genes in ; all classes of AARS genes except LysRS and GltX can be found as T-box genes in various gram-positive species.

GltX aminoacylates both tRNAGlu and tRNAGln with glutamate; Glu-tRNAGln is converted to Gln-tRNAGln by the Gat-CAB amidotransferase.
