Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755, PubMed:26245381, PubMed:27863242, PubMed:30517857). Plays an important role in controlling cell growth and proliferation through the selective translation of particular classes of mRNA (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755, PubMed:26245381, PubMed:27863242, PubMed:30517857). Part of the small subunit (SSU) processome, first precursor of the small eukaryotic ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755, PubMed:26245381, PubMed:27863242, PubMed:30517857). During the assembly of the SSU processome in the nucleolus, many ribosome biogenesis factors, an RNA chaperone and ribosomal proteins associate with the nascent pre-rRNA and work in concert to generate RNA folding, modifications, rearrangements and cleavage as well as targeted degradation of pre-ribosomal RNA by the RNA exosome (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755, PubMed:26245381, PubMed:27863242, PubMed:30517857).
