Function

Required for the assembly and/or stability of the 40S ribosomal subunit. Required for the processing of the 20S rRNA-precursor to mature 18S rRNA in a late step of the maturation of 40S ribosomal subunits. Also functions as a cell surface receptor for laminin. Plays a role in cell adhesion to the basement membrane and in the consequent activation of signaling transduction pathways. May play a role in cell fate determination and tissue morphogenesis. Acts as a PPP1R16B-dependent substrate of PPP1CA.

(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the Adeno-associated viruses 2,3,8 and 9.

(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the Dengue virus.

(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the Sindbis virus.

(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus.

(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the pathogenic prion protein.

(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for bacteria.

Involvement in disease

Asplenia, isolated congenital

ICAS

A rare primary immunodeficiency and life-threatening condition, often presenting with pneumococcal sepsis. Most affected individuals die of severe bacterial infections in early childhood. Isolated asplenia is distinct from asplenia associated with other complex visceral defects, notably heterotaxy syndromes such as Ivemark syndrome.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Acylated. Acylation may be a prerequisite for conversion of the monomeric 37 kDa laminin receptor precursor (37LRP) to the mature dimeric 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR), and may provide a mechanism for membrane association (PubMed:9581863).

Cleaved by stromelysin-3 (ST3) at the cell surface. Cleavage by stromelysin-3 may be a mechanism to alter cell-extracellular matrix interactions.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Cytoplasm
  • Nucleus
  • 67LR is found at the surface of the plasma membrane, with its C-terminal laminin-binding domain accessible to extracellular ligands. 37LRP is found at the cell surface, in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus (By similarity). Colocalizes with PPP1R16B in the cell membrane.
