RPS7 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_4G17010V3 (symbol RPS7) encodes a ribosomal protein of the small subunit, belonging to the ribosomal uS7 domain family, and functions as a structural constituent of the ribosome with rRNA and mRNA binding activities. The gene is associated with translation and protein metabolism, and its product localises to the small ribosomal subunit, ribosome, and plastid. RPS7 is associated 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 distachyon.
