| UniProt functional annotation for Q9RXK1 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9RXK1. |
| 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 the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Function: | Makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit. | |
| Function: | This protein is located close to the polypeptide exit tunnel, and interacts with the modified macrolide azithromycin, which blocks the tunnel. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins L15 and L34. {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 uL4 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
