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 of:

  • Mammalian L37 [1].
  • Leishmania infantum L37 [2].
  • Fission yeast YL35 [3].
  • Archaeal L37e (L35e) [4].

These proteins have 56 to 96 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a highly conserved region located in the N-terminal part of these proteins.

Last update:

April 2006 / Pattern revised.
