Cover Story: Bacteria convert active 70S ribosomes to inactive 100S ribosomes to survive under various stress conditions. This state is known as ribosomal hibernation. In Escherichia coli, the ribosome modulation factor (RMF) and hibernation-promoting factor (HPF) are involved in forming 100S ribosomes. The structure determined by Beckert et al. (PDB ID: 6H58) visualized RMF and HPF on the E. coli 100S ribosome. In this review, we summarize the previous findings on the E. coli 100S ribosome, and the recent information on the stress-response pathways involved in ribosomal hibernation. View this paper
