rps3 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_8G182860, designated rps3 on sugar beet chromosome 8, encodes a protein containing Ribosomal_uS3_bact and related domains and functions as a structural constituent of the ribosome with rRNA binding activity. The gene is associated with translation and gene conversion, and its product localises to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. rps3 is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility. Related genes in other species encode small ribosomal subunit protein uS3c.
