UniProt functional annotation for P82278

UniProt code: P82278.

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 (PubMed:10874039, PubMed:28007896). uS9c binds directly to 16S ribosomal RNA (PubMed:10874039). uS9c interacts with translation factor pY (PSRP1) (PubMed:18042701). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18042701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}.
Subcellular location:		Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007896}.
Mass spectrometry:		Mass=17106; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10874039};
Similarity:		Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS9 family. {ECO:0000305}.
