Protein
50S ribosomal protein L5
Organism
Pseudarthrobacter chlorophenolicus (strain ATCC 700700 / DSM 12829 / CIP 107037 / JCM 12360 / KCTC 9906 / NCIMB 13794 / A6)
Function
This is 1 of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance. In the 70S ribosome it contacts protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; this bridge is implicated in subunit movement. Contacts the P site tRNA; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.
Similarity
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL5 family.
