| UniProt functional annotation for Q9RXJ0 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9RXJ0. |
| 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 1 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. In the 70S ribosome it contacts protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; this bridge is implicated in subunit movement (By similarity). Contacts the P site tRNA; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a bridge to the 30S subunit in the 70S ribosome (By similarity). Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit; part of the 5S rRNA/L5/L18/L25 (CTC) subcomplex. Is known to contact the 5S rRNA, 23S rRNA and the P site tRNA. {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}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL5 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
