Protein Domain : RNA-binding S4-related,YaaA IPR014330

Type	Family
Description	YaaA has a single S4 domain ( ). It may be a ribosome maturation protein that its overexpression can restore both the growth and the sporulation defects caused by mutation of rplB, encoding ribosomal protein L2 [ ].The S4 domain may bind RNA. Members of this protein are found almost exclusively in the Firmicutes, and almost invariably just a few nucleotides upstream of the gene for the DNA replication and repair protein RecF. The few members that are not near recF are found instead near dnaA and/or dnaN, the usual neighbours of recF, near the origin of replication. The conserved location suggests a possible role in replication in the Firmicutes lineage.
