We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

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.
