Structured_description Provisional_descriptionrpl-8 encodes a large ribosomal subunit L7a protein required in mass RNAi assays for fertility, vulval development, and general health; the rpl-8 transcription unit has one nonsense transcript that is up-regulated in vivo by smg[-] mutations, indicating that rpl-8 is a natural substrate for SMG-mediated nonsense suppresssion; several other natural mRNA substrates of SMG suppression (e.g., rpl-3, rpl-10, rpl-12) have protein products that are involved in translation.

Remark data taken from http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/C_elegans/ANNOTATION/ribosomal_protein/
This gene previously was known as rpl-8 with rpl-7A as an other name. Following advice from the CGC, this situation has been reversed and rpl-7A is now the main (CGC approved) name for this gene [040706 krb]
