| UniProt functional annotation for Q9RXJ5 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9RXJ5. |
| Organism: | Deinococcus radiodurans (strain ATCC 13939 / DSM 20539 / JCM 16871 / LMG 4051 / NBRC 15346 / NCIMB 9279 / R1 / VKM B-1422). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Deinococcales; Deinococcaceae; Deinococcus. | |
| Function: | Binds the 5S and 23S rRNAs and is also seen to make contacts with the A and P site tRNAs. Interacts with A site tRNA mimics, and is probably one of the key factors, along with a helix of the 23S rRNA, in positioning tRNA stems in the peptidyl-transferase center. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Contacts the CTC protein (RL25). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11677599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12623020, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12665853, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15059283, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15554968}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAF09899.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
