UniProt functional annotation for P0A7J3

UniProt code: P0A7J3.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Forms part of the ribosomal stalk, playing a central role in the interaction of the ribosome with GTP-bound translation factors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923259}.
 
Function: Protein L10 is also a translational repressor protein. It controls the translation of the rplJL-rpoBC operon by binding to its mRNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2448482}.
 
Subunit: Part of the ribosomal stalk of the 50S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:15923259). The N-terminus interacts with L11 and the large rRNA to form the base of the stalk. The C-terminus forms an elongated spine to which 2 L12 dimers bind in a sequential fashion forming a pentameric L10(L12)(L12)2 complex. Two L12 dimers associate with a copy of L10 to form a very strong complex (called L8). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10094780, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923259, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25310980, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27906160, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27906161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27934701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:773698, ECO:0000269|PubMed:782920, ECO:0000269|PubMed:797648}.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=17581.1; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10094780};
Mass spectrometry: Mass=66643; Mass_error=13; Method=Electrospray; Note=Isolated L10(L12)4.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923259};
Mass spectrometry: Mass=17580; Mass_error=2; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923259};
Miscellaneous: Ribosomal protein L8 appears to be an aggregate of ribosomal proteins L7/L12 and L10. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:773698}.
Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL10 family. {ECO:0000305}.
