UniProt functional annotation for P62665

UniProt code: P62665.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC BAA-163 / DSM 7039 / HB27).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy. {ECO:0000250}.
 
Function: Located at the back of the 30S subunit body where it stabilizes the conformation of the head with respect to the body. {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins S4 and S8 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The N-terminal domain interacts with the head of the 30S subunit; the C-terminal domain interacts with the body and contacts protein S4. The interaction surface between S4 and S5 is involved in control of translational fidelity.
Similarity: Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
