Function

RQCH_STRR6 Part of the ribosome quality control system (RQC). Recruits Ala-charged tRNA and directs the elongation of stalled nascent chains on 50S ribosomal subunits, leading to non-templated C-terminal Ala extensions (Ala tail). The Ala tail promotes nascent chain degradation. May add between 1 and at least 8 Ala residues. Binds to stalled 50S ribosomal subunits.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00844] Recombinant protein binds to immobilized human fibronectin; binding is saturable and competed by heparin. Recombinant protein inhibits binding of whole cells to fibronectin.^[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae, a major human pathogen, is a regular colonizer of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Pneumococcal adherence and virulence factor A (PavA), a fibronectin-binding bacterial protein, from S. pneumoniae is an important facilitator of its colonization of host cells. In this study, the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of PavA (SpPavA-N) determined at a resolution of 2.39 A is reported. Each monomer of the dimeric protein consists of two domains (domains I and II) and a short alpha-helix (alpha6) at the C-terminus that are connected by elongated loops. Comparison of the SpPavA-N structure with that of its homolog from Streptococcus suis (FBPS-N) revealed differences in alpha5, alpha6 and the domain II/alpha6 inter-loop region within domain II. The alpha5 helix of FBPS-N folds back toward domain I, whereas in SpPavA-N it adopts an elongated rod shape.
