60S ribosomal protein L13 (RPL13)

The protein contains 211 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 24261 Da.

 

Component of the ribosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:31630789, PubMed:23636399). The small ribosomal subunit (SSU) binds messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and translates the encoded message by selecting cognate aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules (Probable). The large subunit (LSU) contains the ribosomal catalytic site termed the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds, thereby polymerizing the amino acids delivered by tRNAs into a polypeptide chain (Probable). The nascent polypeptides leave the ribosome through a tunnel in the LSU and interact with protein factors that function in enzymatic processing, targeting, and the membrane insertion of nascent chains at the exit of the ribosomal tunnel (Probable). As part of the LSU, it is probably required for its formation and the maturation of rRNAs (PubMed:31630789). Plays a role in bone development (PubMed:31630789). (updated: June 17, 2020)

CLONING

Adams et al. (1992) identified a novel cDNA representing an mRNA showing significantly higher levels of expression in benign breast lesions than in carcinomas. In both tissues, expression was highest in epithelial cells, as determined by in situ hybridization to tissue sections. The protein deduced from the nucleotide sequence was highly basic with no signal or transmembrane sequence, but 2 potential nuclear localization signals. The cDNA hybridized to multiple sequences within both human and other mammalian genomes and to single genomic sequences in Drosophila, Physarum, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Thus the cDNA represents a highly conserved gene sequence. Only 1 major transcript was identified in human cells, but the existence of several pseudogenes was suspected.

MAPPING

By somatic cell hybrid and radiation hybrid analyses, Kenmochi et al. (1998) mapped the RPL13 gene to chromosome 16. ... More on the omim web site
