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 S19 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, S19 is known to form a complex with S13 that binds strongly to 16S ribosomal RNA. S19 belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
- Eubacterial S19.
- Algal and plant chloroplast S19.
- Cyanelle S19.
- Archaebacterial S19.
- Plant mitochondrial S19.
- Eukaryotic S15 ('rig' protein).
S19 is a protein of 88 to 144 amino-acid residues. Our signature pattern is based on the few conserved positions located in the C-terminal section of these proteins.
Last update:April 2006 / Pattern revised.
