MPS1, also known as RPS27. It is a ribosomal protein. Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthes is, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approxim ately 80 structurally distinct proteins. MP S1 is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S27E fam ily of ribosomal proteins. It contains a C4-type zinc finger domain that can bind to zinc. The encoded protein has been shown to be able to bind to nucleic acid. It is located in the cytoplasm as a ribosomal component, but it has also been detected in the nucleus. Studies in rat indicate that ribosomal protein S27 is located near ribosomal protein S18 in the 40S subunit and is covalently linked to translation initiation factor eIF3. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
