iojap-like ribosome-associated protein; This model describes a widely distributed family of bacterial proteins related to iojap from plants. It includes YbeB from E. coli. The gene iojap is a pattern-striping gene in maize, reflecting a chloroplast development defect in some cells. More recent work in bacteria suggests that the bacterial iojap-related protein physically associates with ribosomes. The function remains unknown [Unknown function, General].
