| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SKU2 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SKU2. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | IF-3 binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and shifts the equilibrum between 70S ribosomes and their 50S and 30S subunits in favor of the free subunits, thus enhancing the availability of 30S subunits on which protein synthesis initiation begins. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. Binds to proteins S7, S11 and S18 of the small ribosomal subunit. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the IF-3 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00080}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAD70374.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
