Ribosomal protein S12e signature


Description

A number of eukaryotic ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists of:

  • Vertebrate S12 [1].
  • Trypanosoma brucei S12 [2].
  • Caenorhabditis elegans S12 (F54E7.2).
  • Drosophila S12.
  • Fungi S12.

These proteins have 130 to 150 amino acids. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region in the N-terminal part of these proteins.

December 2001 / Pattern and text revised.
