| UniProt functional annotation for P60617 | |||
| UniProt code: P60617. |
| 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 1 of 5 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, stabilizing the orientation of adjacent RNA domains. Modeling places the A and P site tRNAs in close proximity to this protein. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Weakly binds 5S rRNA. Probably binds the A and P site tRNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12150912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12860128}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00448}. | |
