Large ribosomal subunit protein uL3

UniProtKB accession:  P42920

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit (By similarity). Strongly stimulates 23S rRNA precursor processing by mini-ribonuclease 3 (MrnC); 20-30% DMSO can replace L3, suggesting the protein may alter rRNA conformation.
