Small ribosomal subunit protein eS6

UniProt P62753 Organism Homo sapiens Gene RPS6

Also known as: RPS6

Function

Component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit. Plays an important role in controlling cell growth and proliferation through the selective translation of particular classes of mRNA. Part of the small subunit (SSU) processome, first precursor of the small eukaryotic ribosomal subunit. During the assembly of the SSU processome in the nucleolus, many ribosome biogenesis factors, an RNA chaperone and ribosomal proteins associate with the nascent pre-rRNA and work in concert to generate RNA folding, modifications, rearrangements and cleavage as well as targeted degradation of pre-ribosomal RNA by the RNA exosome.
