MITOCHONDRIAL RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN 63; MRP63


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: MRPL57

Cytogenetic location: 13q12.11     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 13:21,176,658-21,179,084 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Description

Mitochondria have their own translation system for production of 13 proteins essential for oxidative phosphorylation. MRP63 is 1 of more than 70 protein components of mitochondrial ribosomes that are encoded by the nuclear genome (Kenmochi et al., 2001).


Cloning and Expression

By searching databases using bovine Mrp63 as query, followed by PCR of human genomic DNA, Kenmochi et al. (2001) cloned MRP63.


Gene Structure

Zhang and Gerstein (2003) determined that the MRP63 gene has no introns in its coding region.


Mapping

Using radiation hybrid analysis and analysis of an integrated BAC-STS map, Kenmochi et al. (2001) mapped the MRP63 gene to chromosome 13p11.1-q11. By genomic sequence analysis, Zhang and Gerstein (2003) mapped the MRP63 gene to chromosome 13q12.11. They identified 10 MRP63 pseudogenes scattered throughout the genome.
