UniProt functional annotation for Q9RSL2

UniProt code: Q9RSL2.

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: This is one of the proteins that binds and mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance.
 
Subunit: Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit; part of the 5S rRNA/L5/L18/L25 subcomplex. Contacts the 23S rRNA (By similarity). Contacts protein L27 and the 5S rRNA. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11677599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12623020, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12665853, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15059283, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15554968}.
