Rps27a

The protein encoded by this gene is a fusion protein that contains ubiquitin at its N-terminus and ribosomal protein S27a at its C-terminus. When the human ortholog of this protein is expressed in yeast, it is processed post-translationally into two products, a free ubiquitin monomer and ribosomal protein S27a, a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit. There are multiple pseudogenes of this gene. There is a locus on chromosome 5 (GeneID:81777) that contains an intact copy of the open reading frame of this gene, that is likely to be the result of retrotransposition of an mRNA into the genome. The transcriptional status of this locus cannot be verified at the present time. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Rps27a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
