UniProt functional annotation for Q9RX88

UniProt code: Q9RX88.

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 3 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit. This protein has three domains. The N-terminal one is bound on the solvent face, the middle domain fills the space between the 5S rRNA and the L11 arm contacting the 23S rRNA while the C-terminal domain is on the edge of the intersubunit interface and contacts the A site. The protein conformation changes upon binding of a tRNA mimic to the A site, although the mimic does not interact directly with CTC itself, consistent with CTCs presumed role in moderating A site binding.
 
Subunit: Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins L11 and L16, the A site tRNA, and the 5S and 23S rRNAs. {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 bL25 family. CTC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAF10004.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
