Protein
30S ribosomal protein S14
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Binds 16S rRNA, required for the assembly of 30S particles and may also be responsible for determining the conformation of the 16S rRNA at the A site (By similarity). The major S14 protein in the ribosome. Required for binding of S2 and S3 to the 30S subunit and for association of the 30S with the 50S subunit.
Similarity
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS14 family. Zinc-binding uS14 subfamily.
