Large ribosomal subunit protein uL16

Also known as: JW3275, b3313, rplP

Function

Binds directly to 23S ribosomal RNA and is located at the A site of the peptidyltransferase center. It contacts the A and P site tRNAs. One of the last ribosomal proteins to be assembled in the 50S subunit. The simultaneous presence of uL16 and bL36 probably triggers ObgE's GTPase activity and eventual dissociation from the mature 50S ribosomal subunit. It has an essential role in subunit assembly.
