Recombinant Synechocystis sp. 50S ribosomal protein L29 (rpmC) is a bacterially derived ribosomal subunit protein essential for translation and ribosome assembly. This protein, encoded by the rpmC gene, forms part of the large ribosomal subunit (50S) and plays a role in translational fidelity and structural stabilization . Recombinant versions are produced for research applications, including structural studies, stress response analyses, and antibody development .
Amino Acid Sequence:
The full-length protein (69 amino acids) varies slightly between Synechocystis strains. For example:
Molecular Weight:
Low Salinity Stress:
In Prochlorococcus sp. strain NATL1A, rpmC expression decreased significantly under low salinity (log₂FC = -0.752), suggesting ribosomal remodeling during osmotic stress .
Light Irradiation:
Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 showed differential expression of ribosomal proteins, including L29, under UV-B and high-intensity light, indicating light-regulated translational adjustments .
