Balon is a hibernation factor protein found in the cold-adapted bacterium
Relatives of Balon have been found to also bind to the ribosome's A-site in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis, and Thermus thermophilus, which lives in thermal vents, suggesting that it has similarly acting homologues in other species.[2] Genetic relatives of Balon have been found in 20% of bacterial genomes catalogued in public databases, but are absent from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the most widely used models for cellular dormancy.[2]
