CIARC_P059 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P059 (rpl2) on chickpea chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a ribosomal L2 family protein, specifically a structural constituent of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit with rRNA-binding and RNA-binding activities, and is annotated as a transferase. The gene is associated with mitochondrial translation and with the biological process GO:0015979. It localises to the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chloroplast ribosomal function and to broader roles in organellar protein synthesis, though these associations are not yet established in chickpea.
