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 L9 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L9 is known to bind directly to the 23S rRNA. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
- Eubacterial L9.
- Cyanobacterial L9.
- Plant chloroplast L9 (nuclear-encoded).
- Red algal chloroplast L9.
As a signature pattern, we have selected a conserved region, located in the N-terminal section of these proteins.
