Description

Ribosomal protein L15 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L15 is known to bind the 23S rRNA. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:

  • Eubacterial L15.
  • Plant chloroplast L15 (nuclear-encoded).
  • Archaebacterial L15.
  • Vertebrate L27a.
  • Tetrahymena thermophila L29.
  • Fungi L27a (L29, CRP-1, CYH2).

L15 is a protein of 144 to 154 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region in the C-terminal section of these proteins.
