UniProt functional annotation for P82403

UniProt code: P82403.

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:10874039, ECO:0000305|PubMed:28007896}.
 
Subunit: Component of the chloroplast small ribosomal subunit (SSU). 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:10874039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}.
Mass spectrometry: [30S ribosomal protein S6 alpha, chloroplastic]: Mass=16326.7; Method=Electrospray; Note=S6 alpha form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Mass spectrometry: [30S ribosomal protein S6 beta, chloroplastic]: Mass=15953; Method=Electrospray; Note=S6 beta form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Mass spectrometry: [30S ribosomal protein S6 epsilon, chloroplastic]: Mass=13853.6; Method=Electrospray; Note=S6 epsilon form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Mass spectrometry: [30S ribosomal protein S6 alpha, chloroplastic]: Mass=16423; Method=MALDI; Note=S6 alpha form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Mass spectrometry: [30S ribosomal protein S6 beta, chloroplastic]: Mass=15951; Method=MALDI; Note=S6 beta form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Mass spectrometry: [30S ribosomal protein S6 epsilon, chloroplastic]: Mass=13865; Method=MALDI; Note=S6 epsilon form.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Miscellaneous: 5 different forms exist, S6 alpha, S6 beta, S6 gamma, S6 delta and S6 epsilon, possibly due to different transit peptide cleavage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039}.
Similarity: Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS6 family. {ECO:0000305}.
