ribosomekat
Ribosomekat is a hypothetical ribosome-associated kinase-like protein proposed to participate in the regulation of translation in diverse bacteria and archaea. The name is used for a class of proteins inferred from genome and proteome analyses rather than established by direct biochemical characterization.
Discovery and annotation: Ribosomekat predictions arise from conserved gene neighborhoods that place ribosomekat-like genes near ribosomal
Proposed function: It is hypothesized to bind mature ribosomes and to phosphorylate ribosomal components or translation
Structure and interactions: Structural predictions point to a serine/threonine kinase–like fold with divergent active-site motifs. Activity
Distribution and significance: Ribosomekat homologs appear in a subset of bacterial phyla and in some archaea,
