Belongs to the membrane fusion protein (MFP) (TC 8.A.1) family.
Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system.
Belongs to the phD/YefM antitoxin family.
Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS12 family.
Interacts with and stabilizes bases of the 16S rRNA that are involved in tRNA selection in the A site and with the mRNA backbone. Located at the interface of the 30S and 50S subunits, it traverses the body of the 30S subunit contacting proteins on the other side and probably holding the rRNA structure together. The combined cluster of proteins S8, S12 and S17 appears to hold together the shoulder and platform of the 30S subunit.
Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contacts proteins S8 and S17. May interact with IF1 in the 30S initiation complex.
With S4 and S5 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
Lacks conserved residue(s) required for the propagation of feature annotation.
This protein specifically catalyzes the removal of signal peptides from prolipoproteins.
Required for coenzyme pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) biosynthesis. PQQ is probably formed by cross-linking a specific glutamate to a specific tyrosine residue and excising these residues from the peptide.
