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

A number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists [1] of:

  • Mammalian ribosomal protein L24.
  • Yeast ribosomal protein L30A/B (Rp29) (YL21).
  • Kluyveromyces lactis ribosomal protein L30.
  • Arabidopsis thaliana ribosomal protein L24 homolog.
  • Haloarcula marismortui ribosomal protein HL21/HL22.
  • Methanococcus jannaschii MJ1201.

These proteins have 60 to 160 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected the most conserved region which is located in the N-terminal region of these proteins.

December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
