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.
Amos Bairoch

Description

Ribosomal protein L27 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. L27 belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:

  • Eubacterial L27.
  • Plant chloroplast L27 (nuclear-encoded).
  • Algal chloroplast L27.
  • Yeast mitochondrial YmL2 (gene MRPL2 or MRP7).

The schematic relationship between these groups of proteins is shown below.
