UniProt functional annotation for Q6CXT6

UniProt code: Q6CXT6.

Organism: Kluyveromyces lactis (strain ATCC 8585 / CBS 2359 / DSM 70799 / NBRC 1267 / NRRL Y-1140 / WM37) (Yeast) (Candida sphaerica).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Kluyveromyces.
 
Function: Required for the processing of the 20S rRNA-precursor to mature 18S rRNA in a late step of the maturation of 40S ribosomal subunits. Has a physiological role leading to 18S rRNA stability (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Component of the small ribosomal subunit. Mature ribosomes consist of a small (40S) and a large (60S) subunit. The 40S subunit contains about 33 different proteins and 1 molecule of RNA (18S). The 60S subunit contains about 49 different proteins and 3 molecules of RNA (25S, 5.8S and 5S).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eS21 family. {ECO:0000305}.
