Protein
Ribosome maturation factor RimM
Organism
Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans (strain DSM 10017 / MPOB)
Function
An accessory protein needed during the final step in the assembly of 30S ribosomal subunit, possibly for assembly of the head region. Probably interacts with S19. Essential for efficient processing of 16S rRNA. May be needed both before and after RbfA during the maturation of 16S rRNA. It has affinity for free ribosomal 30S subunits but not for 70S ribosomes.
Similarity
Belongs to the RimM family.
