PROSITE documentation PDOC00055 |
Ribosomal protein S17 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, S17 is known to bind specifically to the 5' end of 16S ribosomal RNA and is thought to be involved in the recognition of termination codons. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2,3], groups:
As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved regions located in the C-terminal section of these proteins.
