Protein
30S ribosomal protein S1, chloroplastic
Organism
Spinacia oleracea
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 (PubMed:10874039, PubMed:28007896). Actively engaged in the initiation complex formation via a strong mRNA-binding activity. Possesses a poly(A)-binding activity which might play a role as a control element in chloroplast mRNA translation (PubMed:1527032).
Similarity
Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bS1 family.
