CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,ribosome

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

CELLULAR PROCESS

protein, translation/synthesis

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

component of the small 40S ribosomal subunit

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

binding

small molecule

protein	RPS26 has the ability to interact with MDM2 and inhibits MDM2-mediated TP53 ubiquitination that leads to TP53 stabilization upon overexpression
	is involved in the formation of a nucleophosmin binding site on the human 40S ribosomal subunit
	TSR2 releases RPS26 in the presence of high Na+ or pH in vitro and is required for RPS26 release in vivo

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

specific knockout of Rps26 in mouse oocytes resulted in retarded follicle development from pre-antral follicles to antral follicles, while the chromatin configurations of the oocytes were arrested
