RPS2 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3003G169300, designated RPS2 (rps2) on sorghum chromosome 3, encodes a protein belonging to the Ribosomal_uS2 family and is annotated as a structural constituent of the ribosome. The gene is associated with translation, regulation of translation, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, cytochrome anabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, autotrophy, and systemic acquired resistance. It is localized to the small ribosomal subunit, the mitochondrial ribosomal SSU complex, and the plastid. RPS2 is also associated with cytoplasmic male sterility. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to stripe rust, though this has not been established in sorghum.
