Function

[RS7_THET8] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 3'-end of the 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the head domain of the 30S subunit. Is located at the subunit interface close to the decoding center. Binds mRNA and the E site tRNA blocking its exit path in the ribosome. This blockage implies that this section of the ribosome must be able to move to release the deacetylated tRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00480_B] [RS4_GEOSE] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306_B] With S5 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01306_B] [RS8_THETH] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA central domain where it helps coordinate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit (By similarity). [RS17_GEOSE] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds specifically to the 5'-end of 16S ribosomal RNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01345] [RS15_GEOSE] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it helps nucleate assembly of the platform of the 30S subunit by binding and bridging several RNA helices of the 16S rRNA (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01343] Forms an intersubunit bridge (bridge B4) with the 23S rRNA of the 50S subunit in the ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01343] [RS5_GEOSE] With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy (By similarity). Located at the back of the 30S subunit body where it stabilizes the conformation of the head with respect to the body (By similarity). [RS6_THETH] Located on the outer edge of the platform on the body of the 30S subunit (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The 30S ribosomal subunit binds messenger RNA and the anticodon stem-loop of transfer RNA during protein synthesis. A crystallographic analysis of the structure of the subunit from the bacterium Thermus thermophilus is presented. At a resolution of 5.5 A, the phosphate backbone of the ribosomal RNA is visible, as are the alpha-helices of the ribosomal proteins, enabling double-helical regions of RNA to be identified throughout the subunit, all seven of the small-subunit proteins of known crystal structure to be positioned in the electron density map, and the fold of the entire central domain of the small-subunit ribosomal RNA to be determined.
