Zinc ion (Zn<sup>2+</sup>) is an essential micronutrient and a potent antioxidant. However, Zn<sup>2+</sup> is often limited in the environment. Upon Zn<sup>2+</sup> limitation, <i>Mycolicibacterium</i> (basonym: <i>Mycobacterium</i>) <i>smegmatis (Msm)</i> undergoes a morphogenesis, which relies on alternative ribosomal proteins (AltRPs); i.e., Zn<sup>2+</sup>-independent paralogues of Zn<sup>2+</sup>-dependent ribosomal proteins. However, the underlying physiological changes triggered by Zn<su ...[more]
