Function[RS17_GEOSE] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds specifically to the 5'-end of 16S ribosomal RNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01345] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe structure of ribosomal protein S17 from Bacillus stearothermophilus was investigated by two-dimensional homonuclear and heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The 1H and 15N chemical shift assignments are largely complete, and a preliminary structural characterization is presented. The protein consists of five beta-strands that form a single antiparallel beta-sheet with Greek-key topology. The beta-strands are connected by several extended loops, and two of these contain residue types that are frequently seen in the RNA-binding sites of proteins. Additionally, two point mutations that affect antibiotic resistance, translational fidelity, and ribosome assembly are located in these two regions of the protein. Since these potential RNA-binding sites are distributed over a large surface of the protein, it appears that the molecule may interact with several regions of 16S rRNA.
