Large ribosomal subunit protein uL16

UniProtKB accession:  P0ADY7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA and is located at the A site of the peptidyltransferase center. It contacts the A and P site tRNAs (PubMed:8524654). One of the last ribosomal proteins to be assembled in the 50S subunit (PubMed:33639093). The simultaneous presence of uL16 and bL36 probably triggers ObgE's GTPase activity and eventual dissociation from the mature 50S ribosmal subunit (PubMed:33639093). It has an essential role in subunit assembly (PubMed:3298242).
