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
A number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists of:
- Vertebrates S17 [1].
- Drosophila S17 [2].
- Neurospora crassa S17 (crp-3).
- Yeast S17a (RP51A) and S17b (RP51B) [3].
- Archaebacterial S17e.
These proteins have from 63 (in archebacteria) to 130 to 146 amino acids and are highly conserved. As a signature, we selected a region in the central part of these proteins.
