UniProt functional annotation for P62664



	UniProt functional annotation for P62664

UniProt code: P62664.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC BAA-163 / DSM 7039 / HB27).

Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.

Function: One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the body and platform of the 30S subunit. {ECO:0000250}.

Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000250};

Subunit: Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contacts protein S5. The interaction surface between S4 and S5 is involved in control of translational fidelity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS4 family. {ECO:0000305}.
