High impact information on rps18

  • PFL codes for ribosomal protein S18, based on the high homology with rat S18 and on purification of S18-equivalent peptides from plant ribosomes. pfl represents the first mutation in eukaryotic S18 proteins or their S13 prokaryotic counterparts, involved in translation initiation [1].
  • The ribosomal protein S18 (RPS18) is a component of the small ribosomal subunit and is encoded by three gene copies (A, B, and C) in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome [2].
  • Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that a relative amount of VRN1 mRNA is more than three-fold higher in the senescent somatic cells than in young somatic cells when the mRNA of ribosomal protein S18 is used as an internal standard [3].
