The L14 ribosomal protein is a protein which is included in the 50S subunit of the procaryote ribosome and in the 60s subunit of the eucaryote ribosome. The 50S and 60S subunits are the twos biggest subunits of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. | The L14 ribosomal protein is a protein which is included in the 50S subunit of the procaryote ribosome and in the 60s subunit of the eucaryote ribosome.The L14 ribosomal protein take part in a operon in Procaryotic and on the third chromosome on human. The 50S and 60S subunits are the twos biggest subunits of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. It is a cytoplasm protein which contains a basic region leucine zipper which participates to the mechanism of translation by allowing the folding and stabilization of rRNA. | ||
The L14 subunit is one of the most conserved protein in the ribosome. L14 has been located at the 50S and 30S subunit interface between peptidyl transferase and GTPase regions. It allows contacts with the 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit (bridges B5 and B8) connecting the 2 subunits. | The L14 subunit is one of the most conserved protein in the ribosome in a lot species. For example, 66% sequence identity exists between the Escherichia coli and Bacillus stearothermophilus molecules. L14 has been located at the 50S and 30S subunit interface between peptidyl transferase and GTPase regions. It allows contacts with the 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit (bridges B5 and B8) connecting the 2 subunits. | ||
