Abstract
Maintaining cellular homeostasis in the face of stress conditions is vital for the overall well-being of an organism. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are among the most potent cellular stressors and can disrupt the internal redox balance, giving rise to oxidative stress. Elevated levels of ROS can severely affect biomolecules and have been associated with a range of pathophysiological conditions. In response to oxidative stress, yeast activator protein-1 (Yap1p) undergoes post-translation modification that results in its nuclear accumulation. YAP1 has a key role in oxidative detoxification by promoting transcription of numerous antioxidant genes. In this study, we identified previously undescribed functions for NCE102, CDA2, and BCS1 in YAP1 expression in response to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Deletion mutant strains for these candidates demonstrated increased sensitivity to H2O2. Our follow-up investigation linked the activity of these genes to YAP1 expression at the level of translation. Under oxidative stress, global cap-dependent translation is inhibited, prompting stress-responsive genes like YAP1 to employ alternative modes of translation. We provide evidence that NCE102, CDA2, and BCS1 contribute to cap-independent translation of YAP1 under oxidative stress.

Abstract
Ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) are abundant, highly conserved, and multifaceted cellular proteins in all domains of life. Most r-proteins have RNA-binding properties and can form protein-protein contacts. Bacterial r-proteins govern the co-transcriptional rRNA folding during ribosome assembly and participate in the formation of the ribosome functional sites, such as the mRNA-binding site, tRNA-binding sites, the peptidyl transferase center, and the protein exit tunnel. In addition to their primary role in a cell as integral components of the protein synthesis machinery, many r-proteins can function beyond the ribosome (the phenomenon known as moonlighting), acting either as individual regulatory proteins or in complexes with various cellular components. The extraribosomal activities of r-proteins have been studied over the decades. In the past decade, our understanding of r-protein functions has advanced significantly due to intensive studies on ribosomes and gene expression mechanisms not only in model bacteria like Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis but also in little-explored bacterial species from various phyla. The aim of this review is to update information on the multiple functions of r-proteins in bacteria.

Abstract
Despite the similarity in fundamental goals of translation initiation between different domains of life, it is one of the most phylogenetically diverse steps of the central dogma of molecular biology. In a classical view, the translation signals for prokaryotes and eukaryotes are distinct from each other. This idea was challenged by the finding that the Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) belonging to Plautia stali intestine virus (PSIV) could bypass the domain-specific boundaries and effectively initiate translation in E. coli. This finding led us to investigate whether the ability of PSIV IRES to initiate translation in E. coli is specific to this IRES and also to study features that allow this viral IRES to mediate prokaryotic translation initiation. We observed that certain IRESs may also possess the ability to initiate E. coli translation. Our results also indicated that the structural integrity of the PSIV IRES in translation in prokaryotes does not appear to be as critical as it is in eukaryotes. We also demonstrated that two regions of the PSIV IRES with complementarity to 16S ribosomal RNA are important for the ability of this IRES to initiate translation in E. coli.
