MRTO4
Function
Component of the ribosome assembly machinery. Nuclear paralog of the ribosomal protein P0, it binds pre-60S subunits at an early stage of assembly in the nucleolus, and is replaced by P0 in cytoplasmic pre-60S subunits and mature 80S ribosomes.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL10 family.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
- Nucleolus
- Cytoplasm
- Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
