UniProt functional annotation for Q5SHQ4

UniProt code: Q5SHQ4.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: This is one of the proteins that binds and mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.
 
Subunit: Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit; part of the 5S rRNA/L5/L18/L25 subcomplex. Contacts the 5S and probably the 23S rRNA; has been isolated in a complex with the 5S rRNA and RL25 (Ref.2).
Mass spectrometry: Mass=12481; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16287167};
Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL18 family. {ECO:0000305}.
