Model for HPF-mediated protection of ribosomes in B. subtilis. HPF binds two 70S ribosomes to form a 100S dimer. S2 and S3 proteins at the dimer interface (green and purple) are protected and occluded from the solvent surface. If HPF is not functional, S2 and S3 are exposed and may not remain bound to the ribosome.
