Structure of Ribosome maturation protein RimM and Ribosomal protein S19Structure of Ribosome maturation protein RimM and Ribosomal protein S19
Structural highlights
3a1p is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Thermus thermophilus HB8. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
RIMM_THET8 An accessory protein needed during the final step in the assembly of 30S ribosomal subunit, possibly for assembly of the head region. Probably interacts with S19. Essential for efficient processing of 16S rRNA. May be needed both before and after RbfA during the maturation of 16S rRNA. It has affinity for free ribosomal 30S subunits but not for 70S ribosomes (By similarity).
