UniProt functional annotation for P82231

UniProt code: P82231.

Organism: Spinacia oleracea (Spinach).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; Caryophyllales; Chenopodiaceae; Chenopodioideae; Anserineae; Spinacia.
 
Function: Responsible for the release of ribosomes from messenger RNA at the termination of chloroplastic protein biosynthesis. {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Modeling onto the 70S ribosome suggests it binds to PSRP1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18042701}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast stroma. Note=The major part was found in the stroma and some protein was in the envelope subfraction, but no protein was detected in the thylakoids.
Tissue specificity: Restricted to photosynthetic tissues.
Miscellaneous: Expression seems to be light-independent.
Similarity: Belongs to the RRF family. {ECO:0000305}.
