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.
Amos Bairoch

Description

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

  • Mammalian L39 [1].
  • Plants L39.
  • Yeast L46 [2].
  • Archebacterial L39e [3].

These proteins are very basic. About 50 residues long, they are the smallest proteins of eukaryotic-type ribosomes. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region in the C-terminal section of these proteins.

Last update:

December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
