Small ribosomal subunit protein uS3m

UniProtKB accession:  P02381

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane (PubMed:25609543, PubMed:28154081). uS3m is essential for mitochondrial protein synthesis and required for the maturation of small ribosomal subunits (PubMed:7770043).
