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 S8 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, S8 is known to bind directly to 16S ribosomal RNA. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:
- Eubacterial S8.
- Algal and plant chloroplast S8.
- Cyanelle S8.
- Archaebacterial S8.
- Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial S8.
- Mammalian S15A.
- Plant S15A.
- Yeast S22 (S24).
As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved region located in the C-terminal section of these proteins.
Last update:April 2006 / Pattern revised.
