The ABC-F protein Uup, Rescues Stalled Ribosomal Termination Complexes to Modulate DNA Maintenance

The cytosolic ATP-binding cassette F (ABC-F) family modulates ribosomal activity in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Although they all bind to the E site of the ribosome, some bacterial ABC-Fs confer resistance to ribosome-targeting antibiotics, while housekeeping members have poorly defined roles. Interestingly, in Escherichia coli, which possesses four ABC-F (EttA, Uup, YbiT and YheS), Uup has been…
