Small ribosomal subunit protein uS17m

UniProtKB accession:  Q03246

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane (PubMed:25609543, PubMed:28154081). uS17m may have a meiosis-specific role as it accumulates during the middle stage of sporulation (PubMed:15543521).
