Protein
30S ribosomal protein S7
Organism
Streptomyces coelicolor (strain ATCC BAA-471 / A3(2) / M145)
Function
One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center, probably blocks exit of the E-site tRNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS7 family.
