| UniProt functional annotation for Q72I20 | |||
| UniProt code: Q72I20. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC BAA-163 / DSM 7039 / HB27). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | This is one of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01337}. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit; part of the 5S rRNA/L5/L18/L25 subcomplex. Contacts the 5S and 23S rRNAs. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01337}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL18 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01337}. | |
