UniProt functional annotation for P49228

UniProt code: P49228.

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: Forms a cluster with L17 and L22, and with L22, a pair of 'tweezers' that hold together all the domains of the 23S rRNA. Interacts with the antibiotic troleandomycin which blocks the peptide exit tunnel.
 
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000305};
Subunit: Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins L17 and L22. {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 bacterial ribosomal protein bL32 family. {ECO:0000305}.
