Large ribosomal subunit protein uL14

UniProtKB accession:  P0ADY3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  This protein binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA. In the E.coli 70S ribosome it has been modeled to make two contacts with the 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit, forming part of bridges B5 and B8, connecting the 2 subunits (PubMed:12809609). Although the protein undergoes significant rotation during the transition from an initiation to and EF-G bound state, the bridges remain stable. In the 3.5 A resolved structures L14 and L19 interact and together make contact with the 16S rRNA in bridges B5 and B8 (PubMed:16272117).
