Summary
PTCD3 (pentatricopeptide repeat domain 3, HGNC:24717) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p11.2, encoding Small ribosomal subunit protein mS39 (Q96EY7). Mitochondrial RNA-binding protein that has a role in mitochondrial translation. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 79.3% of cell lines).
Enables rRNA binding activity and ribosomal small subunit binding activity. Involved in mitochondrial translation. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; mitochondrial matrix; and nucleoplasm. Implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 51.

Function. Mitochondrial RNA-binding protein that has a role in mitochondrial translation.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (mt-SSU). Mature mammalian 55S mitochondrial ribosomes consist of a small (28S) and a large (39S) subunit. The 28S small subunit contains a 12S ribosomal RNA (12S mt-rRNA) and 30 different proteins. The 39S large subunit contains a 16S rRNA (16S mt-rRNA), a copy of mitochondrial valine transfer RNA (mt-tRNA(Val)), which plays an integral structural role, and 52 different proteins. Associated with the 12S mitochondrial rRNA (12S mt-rRNA).
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. Abundant in testes, skeletal muscle and heart tissue.
Disease relevance. Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 51 (COXPD51) [MIM:619057] An autosomal recessive, mitochondrial disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, poor overall growth, progressive limb rigidity, delayed psychomotor development, hearing loss, and optic atrophy. Brain imaging shows abnormal bilateral signs at the basal ganglia and brainstem. Patient cells show decreased mitochondrial complex I and IV levels and activities, and generalized mitochondrial translation defects. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the mitochondrion-specific ribosomal protein mS39 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 217 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
