Ribosomal protein L6

Ribosomal protein L6 (RPL6) is one of the 34 proteins which belong to the of the prokaryotic ribosome or to the ca. 49 proteins in the large 60S subunit of the eukaryotic ribosome. It is known to bind to the 5S RRNA from the large subunit. It is located in the aminoacyl-tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center^[1]. In the archaea like in Haloarcula marismortui the L6 is called L6P (RPL6P).
