| UniProt functional annotation for P14123 | |||
| UniProt code: P14123. |
| Organism: | Haloarcula marismortui (strain ATCC 43049 / DSM 3752 / JCM 8966 / VKM B-1809) (Halobacterium marismortui). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Stenosarchaea group; Halobacteria; Halobacteriales; Haloarculaceae; Haloarcula. | |
| Function: | This is one of 5 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance and stabilizes the orientation of adjacent RNA domains. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Interacts with proteins L5 and L21e, and attaches the 5S rRNA to the 23S rRNA. Has been cross- linked to L21e. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12150912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12860128}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL18 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
