PROSITE documentation PDOC00500
Ribosomal protein S6e signature


Description

A number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists of:

  • Mammalian S6 [1].
  • Drosophila S6 [2].
  • Plant S6 [3].
  • Yeast S10 (YS4).
  • Halobacterium marismortui HS13 [4].
  • Methanococcus jannaschii MJ1260.

S6 is the major substrate of protein kinases in eukaryotic ribosomes [5]; it may have an important role in controlling cell growth and proliferation through the selective translation of particular classes of mRNA.

These proteins have 135 to 249 amino acids. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved stretch of 12 residues in the N-terminal part of these proteins.
