US17X — Glycine max

Summary

GmUS17X (GLYMA_13G165200V4) on soybean chromosome 13 encodes a ribosomal uS17 family protein with rRNA binding, mRNA binding, protein binding, and ATP hydrolase activities, and is a structural constituent of the ribosome. It localizes to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit, cytosol, and also associates with the proteasome, plasmodesma, plastid, and cell wall. The gene is associated with translation, meristem growth and structural organization, root and shoot development, leaf and inflorescence morphogenesis, male and female gamete generation, seedling development, innate immunity, and the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal pathway. Associations include traits such as zinc and herbicide sensitivity, disease tolerance, and root, leaf, and inflorescence morphology. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to proteasome assembly, meristem maintenance, leaf size, and defense responses.
