UniProt functional annotation for P61992

UniProt code: P61992.

Organism: Pyrococcus abyssi (strain GE5 / Orsay).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus.
 
Function: One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306}.
 
Function: With S5 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306}.
 
Subunit: Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contacts protein S5. The interaction surface between S4 and S5 is involved in control of translational fidelity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306}.
Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS4 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306}.
