rps4 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_24542 (symbol rps4) on pepper (Capsicum annuum) chromosome 9 encodes a ribosomal uS4 family protein with rRNA-binding, mRNA-binding and structural-constituent-of-ribosome molecular functions. The gene is associated with ribosomal small subunit biogenesis, translation, and innate immunity, and its product localises to the small ribosomal subunit. It has also been connected to cytoplasmic male sterility. Related genes in other species link the family to chloroplast ribosome function and plant development.
