A bifunctional archaeal protein that is a component of 30S ribosomal subunits and interacts with C/D box small RNAs
We have identified a novel archaeal protein that apparently plays two distinct roles in ribosome metabolism. It is a polypeptide of about 18 kDa (termed Rbp18) that binds free cytosolic C/D box sRNAs in vivo and in vitro and behaves as a structural ribosomal protein, specifically a component of the...
