RPS7 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G089801, designated PvRPS7, encodes a ribosomal uS7 domain-containing protein that is a structural constituent of the small ribosomal subunit. The gene product is annotated for rRNA binding, mRNA binding, and translation, and localizes to the small ribosomal subunit and ribosome. In French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on chromosome 3, PvRPS7 is associated with fundamental protein synthesis machinery. Studies of related genes in other species link the RPS7 family to small ribosomal subunit protein uS7 function, though these associations are not established for this specific gene. No agronomically significant traits such as yield, stress tolerance, or disease resistance have been directly connected to PvRPS7 in the available evidence.
