UniProt functional annotation for P82249

UniProt code: P82249.

Organism: Spinacia oleracea (Spinach).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; Caryophyllales; Chenopodiaceae; Chenopodioideae; Anserineae; Spinacia.
 
Function: Component of the chloroplast ribosome (chloro-ribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of chloroplast genome-encoded proteins, including proteins of the transcription and translation machinery and components of the photosynthetic apparatus. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10874046, ECO:0000305|PubMed:28007896}.
 
Subunit: Component of the chloroplast large ribosomal subunit (LSU). Mature 70S chloroplast ribosomes of higher plants consist of a small (30S) and a large (50S) subunit. The 30S small subunit contains 1 molecule of ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) and 24 different proteins. The 50S large subunit contains 3 rRNA molecules (23S, 5S and 4.5S rRNA) and 33 different proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}.
Miscellaneous: Three forms, which differ in pI, are produced, L31 alpha, L31 beta and L31 gamma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874046}.
Similarity: Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL31 family. Type A subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
