Structural highlights
FunctionRS5_ECOLI With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy. Many suppressors of streptomycin-dependent mutants of protein S12 are found in this protein, some but not all of which decrease translational accuracy (ram, ribosomal ambiguity mutations).[1] Located at the back of the 30S subunit body where it stabilizes the conformation of the head with respect to the body.[2] The physical location of this protein suggests it may also play a role in mRNA unwinding by the ribosome, possibly by forming part of a processivity clamp.[3] References
