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 S9 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
- Eubacterial S9.
- Algal chloroplast S9.
- Cyanelle S9.
- Archaebacterial S9.
- Mammalian S16.
- Plant S16.
- Yeast mitochondrial ribosomal S9.
As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region containing many charged residues and located in the central section of these proteins.
Last update:April 2006 / Pattern revised.
