Organism
Haloarcula marismortui (strain ATCC 43049 / DSM 3752 / JCM 8966 / VKM B-1809)
Function
This is one of 5 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance and stabilizes the orientation of adjacent RNA domains.
