Function
RL2_HALMA One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01320_A]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Negamycin, a small-molecule inhibitor of protein synthesis, binds the Haloarcula marismortui 50S ribosomal subunit at a single site formed by highly conserved RNA nucleotides near the cytosolic end of the nascent chain exit tunnel. The mechanism of antibiotic action and the function of this unexplored tunnel region remain intriguingly elusive.
