Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal protein S15 is highly conserved among prokaryotes. It plays a pivotal role in the assembly of the central domain of the small ribosomal subunit and regulates its own expression by a feedback mechanism at the translational level. The protein recognizes two RNA targets (rRNA and mRNA) that share only partial similarity. Its interaction with 16S rRNA has been fully characterized, while mRNA interactions...
