* Ribosomal protein L39e signature *
************************************

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.

-Consensus pattern: [KRM]-[PTKS]-x(3)-[LIVMFG]-x(2)-[NHS]-x(3)-R-[DNHY]-W-R-
                    [RS]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in Swiss-Prot: NONE.
-Last update: December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
