| Human Protein Atlas | RPS20PROTEIN |
| Basic residues | RPS20 contains multiple lysine and arginine residues that facilitate binding to the 18S rRNA of the 40S subunit |
| Platform region location | RPS20 is located on the platform region of the 40S subunit, where it contributes to the structural integrity of the mRNA binding channel |
| Compact fold | The protein has a compact, globular fold typical of many small ribosomal proteins |
| mRNA interaction | RPS20 contributes to stabilizing interactions between the 40S subunit and mRNA molecules during translation initiation |
| mRNA binding | RPS20 contributes to stabilizing the binding of mRNA to the 40S subunit |
| Scanning mechanism | The protein participates in the scanning mechanism that locates the start codon on the mRNA |
| Translation initiation complex | RPS20 is involved in the formation of the 48S translation initiation complex |
| Ribosome assembly | The protein participates in the assembly of the 40S subunit, integrating with 18S rRNA and other ribosomal proteins |
| Early assembly | RPS20 is incorporated into the 40S subunit during early stages of assembly |
