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 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.
Last update:April 2006 / Pattern revised.
