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 number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists of:
- Vertebrate L18 (known as L14 in Xenopus) [1].
- Plant L18.
- Yeast L18 (Rp28).
- Halobacterium marismortui Hl29.
- Sulfolobus acidocaldarius Hl29e.
These proteins have 115 to 187 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a stretch of about 13 residues in the first third of these proteins.
Last update:April 2006 / Pattern revised.
