Large ribosomal subunit protein uL23

Also known as: JW3280, b3318, rplW

Function

One of the early assembly proteins, it binds 23S rRNA; is essential for growth. One of the proteins that surround the polypeptide exit tunnel on the outside of the subunit. Acts as the docking site for trigger factor for Ffh binding to the ribosome (SRP54) and to nascent polypeptide chains.
