Protein component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S28, no bacterial homolog; has an extraribosomal function in autoregulation, in which Rps28Bp binds to a decapping complex via Edc3p, which then binds to RPS28B mRNA leading to its decapping and degradation; RPS28B has a paralog, RPS28A, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004254]
RPS33B, S28B, S33B, YS27
Chromosome XII: 673,131-673,334 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006945.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 251 orthologues and 1 paralogue.
