mitochondrion-specific ribosomal protein mS39 family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as PTCD3_HUMAN, PTCD3, MRPS39. Mitochondrial RNA-binding protein that has a role in mitochondrial translation. Component of the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (mt-SSU). Mature mammalian 55S mitochondrial ribosomes consist of a small (28S) and a large (39S) subunit. The 28S small subunit contains a 12S ribosomal RNA (12S mt-rRNA) and 30 different proteins. The 39S large subunit contains a 16S rRNA (16S mt-rRNA), a copy of mitochondrial valine transfer RNA (mt-tRNA(Val)), which plays an integral structural role, and 52 different proteins. Associated with the 12S mitochondrial rRNA (12S mt-rRNA).
