CIARC_P057 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P057, also known as RPS3 or CaRPS3, encodes a small ribosomal subunit protein uS3 on chickpea chromosome NC_011163.1. The product contains ribosomal uS3 and KH domain families, functions as a structural constituent of the ribosome, and binds rRNA. It is associated with translation and localises to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. The gene is also linked to the biological process GO:0015979. Studies of related genes in other species connect the RPS3 family to ribosomal function, though these associations are not yet established in chickpea itself.
