Ribosomal protein bL27 protects translating ribosomes from tmRNA-SmpB

Bacterial ribosomal protein bL27 is universally conserved, and its amino terminus is adjacent to the peptidyl transfer center, yet its roles in translation remain unclear. Combining genetics, biochemistry, and molecular dynamics, we show that bL27 has an unexpected role in preven...
