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 ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists of:
- Mammalian S26 [1].
- Octopus S26 [2].
- Drosophila S26 (DS31) [3].
- Plant cytoplasmic S26.
- Fungi S26 [4].
These proteins have 114 to 127 amino acids. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved octapeptide in the central part of these proteins.
Last update:December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
