Large ribosomal subunit protein mL43

UniProtKB accession:  Q06090

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane (Probable). Also has an extraribosomal function, being essential for mitochondrial genome integrity. May interact with MHR1 to take part in the mtDNA repair mechanism (PubMed:25609543).
