RPL22 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C05F21020 (symbol RPL22, also known as AoRPL22) in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 5 encodes a structural constituent of the ribosome, belonging to the ribosomal uL22 protein family. The gene product is associated with translation and localises to the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit and the large ribosomal subunit, as well as mitochondria. It is linked to the related genes uL22my and uL22mz. Studies of related genes in other species link the RPL22 family to miscellaneous traits and the clim-gs9 phenotype, though these associations are not established for this specific asparagus gene.
