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 Xenopus protein known as G10 [1] has been found to be highly conserved in a wide range of eukaryotic species. The function of G10 is still unknown. G10 is a protein of about 17 to 18 Kd (143 to 157 residues) which is hydrophilic and whose C-terminal half is rich in cysteines and could be involved in metal-binding. As signature patterns, we selected two of these cysteine-rich segments.
