PROSITE documentation PDOC00384 |
Ribosomal protein L2 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L2 is known to bind to the 23S rRNA and to have peptidyltransferase activity. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved region located in the C-terminal section of these proteins.
