60S ribosomal protein L13' is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPL13 gene.
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L13E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene is expressed at significantly higher levels in benign breast lesions than in breast carcinomas. Transcript variants derived from alternative splicing and/or alternative polyadenylation exist; these variants encode the same protein. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
RPL13 has been shown to interact with CDC5L.
Billy Idle: Last night as I was lyin'
Just loungin' in my bed,
Heard such a loony howling',
Stood my hair up on my head.
Lunged over to the window,
Flipped the floodlight right on.
Hey, there's a letter L
On the loose,
Leaping across my lawn!
I heard the letter L
Let out a 'luh-luh-luh.'
The little rebel L,
He cried, 'Luh-luh-luh.'
Luh-luh-luh!'
I heard the letter L
Let out a 'luh-luh-luh.'
The little rebel L,
He went, 'Luh-luh-luh,
LUH-LUH-LUH!'
Rebel L!
He said, 'You gotta listen,
See, I'm a lean, mean lad.
Don't like to stand for 'lacy
Little lamb' or 'lilly pad!'
Just wanna live for loudness,
And don't say I'm too young.
I was born to go luh-luh-luh
At the top of my luh-luh-lungs!'
I heard the letter L
Let out a 'luh-luh-luh.'
The little rebel L,
He cried, 'Luh-luh-luh.'
Luh-luh-luh!'
I heard the letter L
Let out a 'luh-luh-luh.'
The little rebel L,
He went, 'Luh-luh-luh,
LUH-LUH-LUH!'
Rebel L!
Leaned out a little lower,
'Leapin' lizards!' I yelled,
'You gotta learn a lesson,
Hey, it's late, get lost, rebel L
You're wakin' up the neighbors.
Please leave us in peace.
Looks like you're outta luck,
Letter L,
Here come the pol-luh-luh-lice!'
Policewoman: Hey, little letter L,
You're too loud, loud, loud.
We know you're lost and lonely
Without a crowd, crowd,
Crowd, crowd.
But listen, letter L,
We got laws, laws, laws!
Rebel L: I'm just a rebel L
Without a cause, cause, cause!
A rebel L!
I'm just a rebel L!
You know I'm just a rebel L!
You know I'm just a rebel L!
I'm just a rebel L!
