RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S7 FROM THERMUS THERMOPHILUSRIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S7 FROM THERMUS THERMOPHILUS
Structural highlights
1rss is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Thermus thermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
RS7_THET8 One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 3'-end of the 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. Binds mRNA and the E site tRNA blocking its exit path in the ribosome. This blockage implies that this section of the ribosome must be able to move to release the deacetylated tRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00480_B]
