By binding to the 50s subunit of the bacterial rRNA complex, protein synthesis and subsequent structure and function processes critical for life or replication are inhibited.
Eukaryotic ribosomes contain four different rRNA molecules: 18S, 5.8S, 28S and 5S rRNA.
Eukaryotic ribosomes contain one or three very large rRNA molecules and multiple smaller protein molecules.
It was found to be a circular DNA molecule 4.6 million base pairs in length, containing 4288 annotated protein-coding genes (organized into 2584 operons ), seven ribosomal RNA (rRNA) operons, and 86 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes.
However, an additional rRNA molecule, the 5S rRNA, is also necessary.
Once the rRNA subunits are processed, they are ready to be assembled into larger ribosomal subunits.
