Ribosomal protein L15 signature


Description

Ribosomal protein L15 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L15 is known to bind the 23S rRNA. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:

  • Eubacterial L15.
  • Plant chloroplast L15 (nuclear-encoded).
  • Archaebacterial L15.
  • Vertebrate L27a.
  • Tetrahymena thermophila L29.
  • Fungi L27a (L29, CRP-1, CYH2).

L15 is a protein of 144 to 154 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region in the C-terminal section of these proteins.
