CIARC_P054 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P054 (RPS8, rps8) encodes a ribosomal small subunit protein belonging to the ribosomal uS8 family, with rRNA binding and structural constituent of ribosome molecular functions. The gene is associated with translation and the biological process GO:0015979, and its product localises to the ribosome and RNP complexes. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ribosomal L36 and photosystem I PsaA/B domains, though these associations are not established in chickpea.
