UniProt functional annotation for P02413

UniProt code: P02413.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: This protein binds the 5S rRNA. It is required for the late stages of subunit assembly, and is essential for 5S rRNA assembly onto the ribosome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3298242}.
 
Subunit: Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:340263, PubMed:3298242, PubMed:10094780, PubMed:12809609, PubMed:16272117, PubMed:25310980, PubMed:24844575, PubMed:27934701, PubMed:27906160, PubMed:27906161). Contacts the 5S rRNA (PubMed:3298242). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10094780, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12809609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16272117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24844575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25310980, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27906160, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27906161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27934701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3298242, ECO:0000269|PubMed:340263}.
