Abstract:
:Individually, the ribosomal proteins L1, L23, L36, and S6 are not essential for cell proliferation of Bacillus subtilis, but the absence of any one of these ribosomal proteins causes a defect in the formation of the 70S ribosomes and a reduced growth rate. In mutant strains individually lacking these ribosomal proteins, the cellular Mg2+ content was significantly reduced. The deletion of YhdP, an exporter of Mg2+, and overexpression of MgtE, the main importer of Mg2+, increased the cellular Mg2+ content and restored the formation of 70S ribosomes in these mutants. The increase in the cellular Mg2+ content improved the growth rate and the cellular translational activity of the ΔrplA (L1) and the ΔrplW (L23) mutants but did not restore those of the ΔrpmJ (L36) and the ΔrpsF (S6) mutants. The lack of L1 caused a decrease in the production of Spo0A, the master regulator of sporulation, resulting in a decreased sporulation frequency. However, deletion of yhdP and overexpression of mgtE increased the production of Spo0A and partially restored the sporulation frequency in the ΔrplA (L1) mutant. These results indicate that Mg2+ can partly complement the function of several ribosomal proteins, probably by stabilizing the conformation of the ribosome.IMPORTANCE We previously reported that an increase in cellular Mg2+ content can suppress defects in 70S ribosome formation and growth rate caused by the absence of ribosomal protein L34. In the present study, we demonstrated that, even in mutants lacking individual ribosomal proteins other than L34 (L1, L23, L36, and S6), an increase in the cellular Mg2+ content could restore 70S ribosome formation. Moreover, the defect in sporulation caused by the absence of L1 was also suppressed by an increase in the cellular Mg2+ content. These findings indicate that at least part of the function of these ribosomal proteins can be complemented by Mg2+, which is essential for all living cells.
