RPS28A [YOR167C]
Protein component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; has an extraribosomal function in regulation of RPS28B, in which Rps28Ap binds to a decapping complex via Edc3p, which then binds to RPS28B mRNA leading to its decapping and degradation; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S28, no bacterial homolog; RPS28A has a paralog, RPS28B, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Synonyms: RPS28A, RPS28Ap, Q3E7X9, O3600, Q3E7X9p ...
