Function
[RL29_HALMA] Stabilizes the tertiary rRNA structure within the 23S rRNA domain (domain I) to which it binds. Located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00374] [RL7A_HALMA] Multifunctional RNA-binding protein that recognizes the K-turn motif in ribosomal RNA, box H/ACA and box C/D sRNAs (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00326] [RL37_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00547] [RL22_HALMA] This protein binds specifically to 23S rRNA. It makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit and ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331] Contacts all 6 domains of the 23S rRNA, helping stabilize their relative orientation. An extended beta-hairpin in the C-terminus forms part of the polypeptide exit tunnel, in which it helps forms a bend with protein L4, while most of the rest of the protein is located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01331] [RL30_HALMA] This is one of 5 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, stabilizing the orientation of adjacent RNA domains.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01371] [RL23_HALMA] Binds to a specific region on the 23S rRNA. Located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01369] [RL31_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA. Located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00410] [RL18_HALMA] This is one of 5 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance and stabilizes the orientation of adjacent RNA domains.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01337_A] [RL21_HALMA] This is one of 5 proteins that mediate the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, stabilizing the orientation of adjacent RNA domains.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00369] [RL6_HALMA] This protein binds to the 23S rRNA, and is important in its secondary structure. It is located near the subunit interface in the base of the L7/L12 stalk, and near the tRNA binding site of the peptidyltransferase center.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01365] [RL5_HALMA] This is 1 of 5 proteins that mediates the attachment of the 5S rRNA onto the large ribosomal subunit, stabilizing the orientation of adjacent RNA domains. Forms part of the central protuberance. Modeling places the A and P site tRNAs in close proximity to this protein; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs. In the 70S ribosome it is thought to contact protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; this bridge is implicated in subunit movement.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01333_A] [RL39_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA. Forms part of the polypeptide exit tunnel.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00629] [RL44E_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA. Binds deacetylated tRNA in the E site; when the tRNA binds a stretch of 7 amino acids are displaced to allow binding.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01476] [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] [RL13_HALMA] This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit (By similarity). Binds to 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01366] [RL15_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01341_A] [RL18E_HALMA] Stabilizes the tertiary rRNA structure within the 23S rRNA domain (domain II) to which it binds.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00329] [RL19E_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA. Located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01475] [RL24E_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00773] [RL3_HALMA] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01325_A] [RL32_HALMA] Binds to the 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00810] [RL14_HALMA] Forms part of two intersubunit bridges in the 70S ribosome (By similarity). Binds to 23S rRNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01367] [RL24_HALMA] One of two assembly initiator proteins, it binds directly to the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01326_A] Stabilizes the tertiary rRNA structure within the 23S rRNA domain (domain I) to which it binds. Located at the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01326_A] [RL4_HALMA] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, this protein initially binds near the 5'-end of the 23S rRNA. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328_A] Makes multiple contacts with different domains of the 23S rRNA in the assembled 50S subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328_A] Forms part of the polypeptide exit tunnel, in which it helps forms a bend with protein L22. Contacts the macrolide antibiotic spiramycin in the polypeptide exit tunnel.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01328_A]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation and binds initiation, termination, and elongation factors. We have determined the crystal structure of the large ribosomal subunit from Haloarcula marismortui at 2.4 angstrom resolution, and it includes 2833 of the subunit's 3045 nucleotides and 27 of its 31 proteins. The domains of its RNAs all have irregular shapes and fit together in the ribosome like the pieces of a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle to form a large, monolithic structure. Proteins are abundant everywhere on its surface except in the active site where peptide bond formation occurs and where it contacts the small subunit. Most of the proteins stabilize the structure by interacting with several RNA domains, often using idiosyncratically folded extensions that reach into the subunit's interior.
