UniProt functional annotation for P29394

UniProt code: P29394.

Organism: Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099 / NBRC 100826 / MSB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga.
 
Function: Forms part of the ribosomal stalk, playing a central role in the interaction of the ribosome with GTP-bound translation factors (such as IF-2, EF-Tu, EF-G and RF3). {ECO:0000305}.
 
Subunit: Part of the ribosomal stalk of the 50S ribosomal subunit. The N-terminus interacts with L11 and 23S rRNA to form the base of the stalk. The C-terminus forms an elongated spine to which 3 L12 dimers bind in a sequential fashion forming a heptameric L10(L12)2(L12)2(L12)2 complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923259, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15989950}.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=20335; Mass_error=3; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923259};
Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL10 family. {ECO:0000305}.
