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 [1]:

  • Mammalian S27 (human S27 was originally known as metallopan-stimulin 1).
  • Chlamydomonas reinhardtii S27.
  • Entamoeba histolytica S27.
  • Yeast S27.
  • Archaebacterial S27e.

These proteins have from 57 to 99 amino acids. They contain, in their central section, a putative zinc-finger region of the type C-x(2)-C-x(14)-C-x(2)-C. We have selected that region as a signature pattern.

December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
