Ribosomal protein L23 signature

Description:

Ribosomal protein L23 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L23 is known to bind a specific region on the 23S rRNA; in yeast, the corresponding protein binds to a homologous site on the 26S rRNA [1]. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [2,3,4], groups:

  • Eubacterial L23.
  • Algal and plant chloroplast L23.
  • Archaebacterial L23.
  • Mammalian L23A.
  • Caenorhabditis elegans L23A (F55D10.2).
  • Fungi L25.
  • Yeast mitochondrial YmL41 (gene MRPL41 or MRP20).

As a signature pattern, we selected a small conserved region in the C-terminal section of these proteins, which is probably involved in rRNA-binding [2].
