28S ribosomal protein S15, mitochondrial, MRP-S15, S15mt, MRPS15, RPMS15
Product description
Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by
nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the
mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a
small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated
75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes,
where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian
mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain
a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the
mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in
biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence
homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein that belongs to
the ribosomal protein S15P family. The encoded protein is more than
two times the size of its E. coli counterpart, with the 12S rRNA
binding sites conserved. Between human and mouse, the encoded
protein is the least conserved among small subunit ribosomal
proteins. Pseudogenes corresponding to this gene are found on
chromosomes 15q and 19q.1) Zhang, Z., et al. Genomics 81(5):468-480(2003)
