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 S11 [1] plays an essential role in selecting the correct tRNA in protein biosynthesis. It is located on the large lobe of the small ribosomal subunit. S11 belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities, groups [2]:

  • Eubacterial S11.
  • Algal and plant chloroplast S11.
  • Cyanelle S11.
  • Archaebacterial S11.
  • Marchantia polymorpha and Prototheca wickerhamii mitochondrial S11.
  • Acanthamoeba castellanii mitochondrial S11.
  • Neurospora crassa S14 (crp-2).
  • Yeast S14 (RP59 or CRY1).
  • Mammalian, Drosophila, Trypanosoma, and plant S14.
  • Caenorhabditis elegans S14 (F37C12.9).

We selected one of the best conserved regions in these proteins as a signature pattern.

Last update:

December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
