Large ribosomal subunit protein uL2

UniProtKB accession:  P42919

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome.
