RPS3 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G038470, also known as RPS3 or MtRPS3, encodes a protein that is a structural constituent of the ribosome and binds rRNA, belonging to the Ribosomal_uS3 family. This gene is associated with translation, nucleus organization, response to desiccation, and DNA damage response. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar ribosomal functions. In barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 8, RPS3 is associated with fundamental cellular processes including protein synthesis and stress responses.
