Abstract

5 S rRNA is an integral component of the large ribosomal subunit in all known organisms. Despite many years of intensive study, the function of 5 S rRNA in the ribosome remains unknown. Advances in the analysis of ribosome structure that have revealed the crystal structures of large ribosomal subunits and of the complete ribosome from various organisms put the results of studies on 5 S rRNA in a new perspective. This paper summarizes recently published data on the structure and function of 5 S rRNA and its interactions in complexes with proteins, within and outside the ribosome.
