Description
Ribosomal protein L14 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In eubacteria, L14 is known to bind directly to the 23S rRNA. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:
- Eubacterial L14.
- Algal and plant chloroplast L14.
- Cyanelle L14.
- Archaebacterial L14.
- Yeast L17A.
- Mammalian L23.
- Caenorhabditis elegans L23 (B0336.10).
- Higher eukaryotes mitochondrial L14.
- Yeast mitochondrial Yml38 (gene MRPL38).
L14 is a protein of 119 to 137 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region located in the C-terminal half of these proteins.
