General info

Function

Component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit (PubMed : 23636399, PubMed : 8706699). Plays an important role in controlling cell growth and proliferation through the selective translation of particular classes of mRNA (PubMed : 17220279). Part of the small subunit (SSU) processome, first precursor of the small eukaryotic ribosomal subunit. During the assembly of the SSU processome in the nucleolus, many ribosome biogenesis factors, an RNA chaperone and ribosomal proteins associate with the nascent pre-rRNA and work in concert to generate RNA folding, modifications, rearrangements and cleavage as well as targeted degradation of pre-ribosomal RNA by the RNA exosome (PubMed : 34516797).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eS6 family.

Post-translational modifications

Ribosomal protein S6 is the major substrate of protein kinases in eukaryote ribosomes. The phosphorylation is stimulated by growth factors, tumor promoting agents, and mitogens. It is dephosphorylated at growth arrest. Phosphorylated at Ser-235 and Ser-236 by RPS6KA1 and RPS6KA3; phosphorylation at these sites facilitates the assembly of the pre-initiation complex.. Specifically hydroxylated (with R stereochemistry) at C-3 of Arg-137 by KDM8.. Mono-ADP-ribosylation at Glu-35 by PARP16 inhibits polysome assembly and mRNA loading, thereby inhibiting protein translation.
