Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) of Thermotoga maritima was expressed in Escherichia coli from the cloned T. maritima RRF gene and purified. Expression of T. maritima RRF inhibited growth of the E. coli host in a dose-dependent manner, an effect counteracted by the overexpression of E. coli RRF. T. maritima RRF also inhibited the E. coli RRF reaction in vitro. Genes encoding RRFs from Streptococcus pneumoniae and Helicobacter pylori have been cloned, and they also impair growth of E. coli, althou ...[more]
