Figure 4. Unique functional features provide a distinct architecture of the mitoribosomal subunits.

(A) The overall structure of the SSU is substantially affected by the back protuberance and body extension that are bound to the head and interconnected through mS78. (B) The contact area between the SSU head and body is illustrated on the head. Mitochondria specific contacts are shown in red, and conserved contacts are shown in white.

Figure 4—figure supplement 1.

The SSU head and body extension form tight interactions through proteins uS9m, mS23, mS29, m31 and rRNA h40ES1. Subsequently, the two moieties are linked together.
