| description | RPS12 is a ribosomal protein encoded by the kinetoplast mitochondrion of Kinetoplastida protists such as Trypanosoma. Homologous RPS12 proteins in bacterial ribosomes participate in stabilizing the second base pair of the codon-anticodon duplex in the A site and is likely to be critical for the fidelity of decoding process. A similar role can be anticipated for this protein in mitochondrial ribosomes. This has been shown where the product of edited RPS12 mRNA translation represented a component of the mitoribosome's small subunit []. |
