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 L36 is the smallest protein from the large subunit of the prokaryotic ribosome. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:

  • Eubacterial L36.
  • Algal and plant chloroplast L36.
  • Cyanelle L36.

L36 is a small basic and cysteine-rich protein of 37 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region that corresponds to positions 11 to 36 in L36 and includes three conserved cysteine residues.

Last update:

April 2006 / Pattern revised.
