== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL15_ECOLI RL15_ECOLI]] This protein binds the 5S rRNA. It is required for the late stages of subunit assembly, and is essential for 5S rRNA assembly onto the ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01341_B] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL6_ECOLI RL6_ECOLI]] This protein binds directly to at least 2 domains of the 23S ribosomal RNA, thus is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01365]  Gentamicin-resistant mutations in this protein affect translation fidelity.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01365] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL22_ECOLI RL22_ECOLI]] This protein binds specifically to 23S rRNA; its binding is stimulated by other ribosomal proteins, e.g. L4, L17, and L20. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331_B]  The globular domain of the protein is one of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit, while an extended beta-hairpin is found that penetrates into the center of the 70S ribosome where it lines the wall of the exit tunnel. Removal of most of this hairpin (residues 85-95) does not prevent its incorporation into 70S ribosomes. Two of the hairpin residues (91 and 93) seem to be involved in translation elongation arrest of the SecM protein, as their replacement by larger amino acids alleviates the arrest.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331_B] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL23_ECOLI RL23_ECOLI]] One of the early assembly proteins, it binds 23S rRNA; is essential for growth. One of the proteins that surround the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit. Acts as the docking site for trigger factor (PubMed:12226666) for Ffh binding to the ribosome (SRP54, PubMed:12756233 and PubMed:12702815) and to nascent polypeptide chains (PubMed:12756233).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01369] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL29_ECOLI RL29_ECOLI]] Binds 23S rRNA. It is not essential for growth.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00374]  One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit. Contacts trigger factor (PubMed:12226666).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00374] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL18_ECOLI RL18_ECOLI]] This is one of the proteins that mediates the attachment of the 5S rRNA subcomplex onto the large ribosomal subunit where it forms part of the central protuberance. Binds stably to 5S rRNA; increases binding abilities of L5 in a cooperative fashion; both proteins together confer 23S rRNA binding. The 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.<ref>PMID:353728</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL21_ECOLI RL21_ECOLI]] This protein binds to 23S rRNA in the presence of protein L20.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01363] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL5_ECOLI RL5_ECOLI]] This is 1 of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance. Its 5S rRNA binding is significantly enhanced in the presence of L18.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01333_B]  In the 70S ribosome in the initiation state (PubMed:12809609) was modeled to contact protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; the protein-protein contacts between S13 and L5 in B1b change in the model with bound EF-G implicating this bridge in subunit movement (PubMed:12809609 and PubMed:18723842). In the two 3.5 A resolved ribosome structures (PubMed:16272117) the contacts between L5, S13 and S19 are different, confirming the dynamic nature of this interaction.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01333_B]  Contacts the P site tRNA; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01333_B] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL2_ECOLI RL2_ECOLI]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Located near the base of the L1 stalk, it is probably also mobile. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is highly controversial.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01320_B]  In the E.coli 70S ribosome in the initiation state it has been modeled to make several contacts with the 16S rRNA (forming bridge B7b, PubMed:12809609); these contacts are broken in the model with bound EF-G.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01320_B] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL13_ECOLI RL13_ECOLI]] This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01366] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL17_ECOLI RL17_ECOLI]] Requires L15 for assembly into the 50S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01368] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL19_ECOLI RL19_ECOLI]] This protein is located at the 30S-50S ribosomal subunit interface. In the 70S ribosome (PubMed:12809609) it has been modeled to make two contacts with the 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit forming part of bridges B6 and B8. In the 3.5 A resolved structures (PubMed:16272117) L14 and L19 interact and together make contact with the 16S rRNA. The protein conformation is quite different between the 50S and 70S structures, which may be necessary for translocation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00402] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL20_ECOLI RL20_ECOLI]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds close to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00382] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL25_ECOLI RL25_ECOLI]] This is one of the proteins that binds to the 5S RNA in the ribosome where it forms part of the central protuberance. Binds to the 5S rRNA independently of L5 and L18. Not required for binding of the 5S rRNA/L5/L18 subcomplex to 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01336] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL9_ECOLI RL9_ECOLI]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds very close to the 3' end of the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00503] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL3_ECOLI RL3_ECOLI]] One of two assembly inititator proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01325_B] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL14_ECOLI RL14_ECOLI]] This protein binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA. In the E.coli 70S ribosome (PubMed:12809609) it has been modeled to make two contacts with the 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit, forming part of bridges B5 and B8, connecting the 2 subunits. Although the protein undergoes significant rotation during the transition from an initiation to and EF-G bound state, the bridges remain stable. In the 3.5 A resolved structures (PubMed:16272117) L14 and L19 interact and together make contact with the 16S rRNA in bridges B5 and B8.<ref>PMID:22829778</ref>   Can also interact with RsfA, in this case bridge B8 probably cannot form, and the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits do not associate, which represses translation.<ref>PMID:22829778</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL24_ECOLI RL24_ECOLI]] One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit. It is not thought to be involved in the functions of the mature 50S subunit in vitro.<ref>PMID:357435</ref>   One of the proteins that surrounds the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.<ref>PMID:357435</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL4_ECOLI RL4_ECOLI]] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome.<ref>PMID:2442760</ref>   Protein L4 is a both a transcriptional repressor and a translational repressor protein; these two functions are independent of each other. It regulates transcription of the S10 operon (to which L4 belongs) by causing premature termination of transcription within the S10 leader; termination absolutely requires the NusA protein. L4 controls the translation of the S10 operon by binding to its mRNA. The regions of L4 that control regulation (residues 131-210) are different from those required for ribosome assembly (residues 89-103).<ref>PMID:2442760</ref>   Forms part of the polypeptide exit tunnel.<ref>PMID:2442760</ref>   Can regulate expression from Citrobacter freundii, Haemophilus influenzae, Morganella morganii, Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia marcescens, Vibrio cholerae and Yersinia enterocolitica (but not Pseudomonas aeruginosa) S10 leaders in vitro.<ref>PMID:2442760</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The assembly of ribosomal subunits is an essential prerequisite for protein biosynthesis in all domains of life. Although biochemical and biophysical approaches have advanced our understanding of ribosome assembly, our mechanistic comprehension of this process is still limited. Here, we perform an in vitro reconstitution of the Escherichia coli 50S ribosomal subunit. Late reconstitution products were subjected to high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy and multiparticle refinement analysis to reconstruct five distinct precursors of the 50S subunit with 4.3-3.8 A resolution. These assembly intermediates define a progressive maturation pathway culminating in a late assembly particle, whose structure is more than 96% identical to a mature 50S subunit. Our structures monitor the formation and stabilization of structural elements in a nascent particle in unprecedented detail and identify the maturation of the rRNA-based peptidyl transferase center as the final critical step along the 50S assembly pathway.
