Protein
50S ribosomal protein L31
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
While neither of the L31 paralogs is essential, this protein seems to function as the main L31 protein. Has a lower affinity for 70S ribosomes than the non-zinc-containing paralog L31B (ytiA); is displaced by it to varying extents, even under zinc-replete conditions.
Similarity
Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL31 family. Type A subfamily.
