Ribosome-binding factor A

UniProtKB accession:  Q5SJV1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of several proteins that assist in the late maturation steps of the functional core of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Associates with free 30S ribosomal subunits (but not with 30S subunits that are part of 70S ribosomes or polysomes) (PubMed:17996707). Required for efficient processing of 16S rRNA. Probably interacts with the 5'-terminal helix region of 16S rRNA, bringing together different domains of the 30S ribosomal subunit which aids assembly (PubMed:17996707).
