Ribosomal protein S17e 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:

  • 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.
