Function

Component of the ribosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell. The small ribosomal subunit (SSU) binds messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and translates the encoded message by selecting cognate aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. The large subunit (LSU) contains the ribosomal catalytic site termed the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds, thereby polymerizing the amino acids delivered by tRNAs into a polypeptide chain.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus, nucleolus

Product Specifications

Protein Biology

Function

Component of the ribosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:23636399). The small ribosomal subunit (SSU) binds messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and translates the encoded message by selecting cognate aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules (PubMed:23636399). The large subunit (LSU) contains the ribosomal catalytic site termed the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds, thereby polymerizing the amino acids delivered by tRNAs into a polypeptide chain (PubMed:23636399). The nascent polypeptides leave the ribosome through a tunnel in the LSU and interact with protein factors that function in enzymatic processing, targeting, and the membrane insertion of nascent chains at the exit of the ribosomal tunnel (PubMed:23636399). Plays a role in the assembly and function of the 40S ribosomal subunit (By similarity). Mutations in this protein affects the control of translational fidelity (By similarity). Involved in nucleolar processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA and ribosome assembly (By similarity)

Subunit

Component of the small ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23636399). Interacts with zinc finger protein ZNF277 (via zinc-finger domains); the interaction is direct; the interaction is extra-ribosomal (PubMed:30530495). Interaction with ZNF277 competes with the binding of RPS2 to protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT3 (PubMed:30530495). Interacts with PRMT3 (PubMed:27697862). Interacts with PDCD2; the interaction is direct, occurs cotranslationally, and serves to chaperone uS5 to assembly sites in the nucleus (PubMed:33245768). Interacts with PDCD2L; for chaperone function of PDC2L (PubMed:27697862). Interacts (when monoubiquitinated at Lys-54 and Lys-58) with RIOK3 (PubMed:39947182, PubMed:39947183)
