MYCGR3G103339 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G103339 (RPS5) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 2 encodes a structural constituent of the ribosome with rRNA and mRNA binding activity. The protein belongs to the ribosomal S5/S7 family and localises to the small ribosomal subunit, cytosol, nucleolus, and membrane. RPS5 is associated with ribosomal small subunit assembly, SSU-rRNA maturation, mRNA capping, cytoplasmic translation, translation initiation, rRNA processing, mitochondrial fusion, oxidative phosphorylation, cell cycle control, cell growth, and response to stress. Studies of related genes in other species link the RPS5 family to oxidative stress.
