| UniProt functional annotation for Q9RXJ1 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9RXJ1. |
| 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: | One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Function: | One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit. Contacts trigger factor (TF) when it is bound to the ribosome; this contact may expose a hydrophobic crevice in TF (PubMed:16271892). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16271892}. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Contacts trigger factor when it is bound to the ribosome (PubMed:16271892). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11677599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12623020, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12665853, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15059283, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15554968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16271892}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL24 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
