UniProt functional annotation for P27684

UniProt code: P27684.

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}.
Mass spectrometry: [50S ribosomal protein 5 alpha, chloroplastic]: Mass=9296.0; Method=Electrospray; Note=PSRP-5 alpha form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046};
Mass spectrometry: [50S ribosomal protein 5 alpha, chloroplastic]: Mass=9255; Method=Electrospray; Note=PSRP-5 alpha form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12605670};
Mass spectrometry: [50S ribosomal protein 5 beta, chloroplastic]: Mass=7065.0; Method=Electrospray; Note=PSRP-5 beta form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046};
Mass spectrometry: [50S ribosomal protein 5 beta, chloroplastic]: Mass=7066; Method=Electrospray; Note=PSRP-5 beta form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12605670};
Mass spectrometry: [50S ribosomal protein 5 gamma, chloroplastic]: Mass=6636.5; Method=Electrospray; Note=PSRP-5 gamma form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046};
Mass spectrometry: [50S ribosomal protein 5 gamma, chloroplastic]: Mass=6638; Method=Electrospray; Note=PSRP-5 gamma form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12605670};
Miscellaneous: Three different forms exist, PSRP-5 alpha, PSRP-5 beta and PSRP-5 gamma, due to different transit peptide cleavage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046}.
Similarity: Belongs to the chloroplast-specific ribosomal protein cL37 family. {ECO:0000305}.
