Ribosomal protein S3 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, S3 is known to be involved in the binding of initiator Met-tRNA. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:
S3 is a protein of 209 to 559 amino-acid residues. As signature patterns, we selected a conserved region located in the C-terminal section.
