| UniProt functional annotation for O49937 | |||
| UniProt code: O49937. |
| Organism: | Spinacia oleracea (Spinach). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; Caryophyllales; Chenopodiaceae; Chenopodioideae; Anserineae; Spinacia. | |
| Function: | Component of the chloroplast ribosome (chloro-ribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of chloroplast genome-encoded proteins, including proteins of the transcription and translation machinery and components of the photosynthetic apparatus. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10874046, ECO:0000305|PubMed:28007896}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the chloroplast large ribosomal subunit (LSU). Mature 70S chloroplast ribosomes of higher plants consist of a small (30S) and a large (50S) subunit. The 30S small subunit contains 1 molecule of ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) and 24 different proteins. The 50S large subunit contains 3 rRNA molecules (23S, 5S and 4.5S rRNA) and 33 different proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Highly expressed in cotyledon and weakly in roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9461586}. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=27235.0; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046}; | |
| Miscellaneous: | This protein (expressed without the transit peptide) is able to provoke transcription termination from the spinach chloroplast rDNA operon and the E.coli S10 operon in vitro. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10852486}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL4 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
