RPS7 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G05801V3 (symbol RPS7, also known as BdRPS7) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a ribosomal protein belonging to the ribosomal uS7 domain family, with rRNA-binding and mRNA-binding activities and a structural constituent of the ribosome. The product localises to the small ribosomal subunit, the ribosome and the plastid, and is associated with translation and protein metabolism, as well as with response to thirst. Studies of related genes in other species link the RPS7 family to cytoplasmic male sterility, though this association has not been established in Brachypodium itself.
