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.
Amos Bairoch

Description

A number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2]. One of these families consists of:

  • Mammalian S19.
  • Drosophila S19.
  • Ascaris lumbricoides S19g (ALEP-1) and S19s.
  • Plants S19.
  • Yeast RPS19A/RPS19B (RP55A/RP55B).
  • Aspergillus S16.
  • Archebacterial S19e.

These proteins have 143 to 155 amino acids. As a signature pattern, we selected a well conserved stretch of 20 residues in the C-terminal part of these proteins.
