ABSTRACT Ribosomes are composed of ribonucleoproteins and are essential for protein biosynthesis, which is one of the most complex biological processes in the cell. In prokaryotes, mature ribosomes contain proteins (r- proteins) and RNA (rRNA) that are assembled into the mature 70S ribosome. The 70S ribosomes are made by two subunits, designated as the 30S (small) and the 50S ribosome (large) subunits. The small subunit is composed of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and over 20 core r-proteins while the large subunit is composed of 23S and 5S rRNAs, and more than 30 core r-proteins. Ribosome is not a stationary entity, rather it is adapted to changing environments giving rise to ribosome heterogeneity. Additionally, several small accessory proteins modulate the biogenesis, recycling, and function of the ribosome; many of these proteins and their molecular functions remain to be discovered. During protein synthesis, translational fidelity is maintained with high accuracy. However, the average translation error rate is relatively higher (10-4 to 10-3 per codon) compared to transcription or replication error rates. Maintaining proper translational fidelity requires cognate pairing of amino acids and tRNAs by aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) synthetase and accurate decoding of mRNA codons by the corresponding aa- tRNAs on the ribosome. Several core and accessory r-proteins drive the correct decoding of the codons to maintain the translational fidelity. Various stress conditions such as nutritional and oxidative stresses often lead to mistranslation and growth defects in bacteria. We have recently identified several factors including a conserved novel protein, SprV (90 amino acids), in Streptococcus mutans (an oral pathogen) that is required for translational fidelity, stress tolerance and adaptation. The major goal of this study is to understand at the molecular level how SprV and other accessory proteins such as L9 (r-protein) and EF-P modulate translational fidelity to alter physiology and biological fitness of oral streptococci.
