Function
RSGA_BACSU Depletion of yloQ results in sensitization towards protein synthesis inhibitors that block the peptide channel or peptidyl transferase center on the ribosome, implying that YloQ functions in conjunction with the ribosome in vivo. Decreasing levels of YloQ lead to an increase in unassembled 30S and 50S subunit and a decrease in the assembled 70S ribosome. May play a role in 30S ribosomal subunit biogenesis. Unusual circulary permuted GTPase that catalyzes rapid hydrolysis of GTP with a slow catalytic turnover (By similarity). Dispensible for viability, but important for overall fitness.
