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};
