Ribosomal protein L7Ae signature


Description

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

  • Vertebrate L7A (SURF3) [1].
  • Plant L7A.
  • Yeast L7A (YL5) (Rp6).
  • Yeast protein NHP2 [2].
  • Yeast hypothetical protein YEL026w.
  • Bacillus subtilis hypothetical protein ylxQ.
  • Halobacterium marismortui Hs6.
  • Methanococcus jannaschii MJ1203.

These proteins have 100 to 265 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region located in the central section.
