Nucleolar protein; involved in biogenesis of the 60S subunit of the ribosome; interacts with rRNA processing factors Cbf5p and Nop2p and with the nucleolar proteins Nop17p and Nip7p; null mutant is viable but growth is severely impaired; Belongs to the NOP53 family.

G-protein beta subunit and guanine dissociation inhibitor for Gpa2p; ortholog of RACK1 that inhibits translation; core component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; required to prevent frameshifting at ribosomes stalled at repeated CGA codons; regulates P-body formation induced by replication stress; represses Gcn4p in the absence of amino acid starvation.

Protein component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S29 and bacterial S14; RPS29B has a paralog, RPS29A, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Ribosomal 60S subunit protein L39; required for ribosome biogenesis; loss of both Rpl31p and Rpl39p confers lethality; also exhibits genetic interactions with SIS1 and PAB1; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein L39, no bacterial homolog.

Protein component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; least basic of non-acidic ribosomal proteins; phosphorylated in vivo; essential for viability; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S5 and bacterial S7.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A-1; Translation elongation factor eIF-5A; required for translation of proteins containing polyproline stretches, including Bni1p, and this leads to a requirement for mating projection formation; structural homolog of bacterial EF-P; undergoes an essential hypusination modification; HYP2 has a paralog, ANB1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; human EIF5A complements the inviability of the yeast hyp2 anb1 double null mutant.

Protein component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein S29 and bacterial S14; RPS29A has a paralog, RPS29B, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Elongation factor 2 (EF-2), also encoded by EFT1; catalyzes ribosomal translocation during protein synthesis; contains diphthamide, the unique posttranslationally modified histidine residue specifically ADP-ribosylated by diphtheria toxin; EFT2 has a paralog, EFT1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Ribosomal 60S subunit protein L29; not essential for translation, but required for proper joining of large and small ribosomal subunits and for normal translation rate; homologous to mammalian ribosomal protein L29, no bacterial homolog; Belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eL29 family.
