basic FUNCTION
| 40S ribosomal protein S26 |
|
contribute to pre-rRNA processing (Doherty 2010) |
|
role of RPS26 in DNA damage response by directly influencing TP53 transcriptional activity, suggesting that RPS26 acts distinctively in different scenarios of TP53 activation |
|
RPS26 contributes to mRNA-specific translation by recognition of the Kozak sequence in well-translated mRNAs and RPS26-deficient ribosomes preferentially translate mRNA from select stress-response pathways |
|
is an indispensable component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit and, along with other ribosomal proteins, is involved in interaction with mRNAs during translation |
|
RPS26 is released from preexisting mature ribosomes to yield RPS26-deficient ribosomes under high Na+ (or sorbitol) stress |
