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 L44 [1].
  • Trypanosoma brucei L44.
  • Caenorhabditis elegans L44 (C09H10.2).
  • Fungal L44 (L41).
  • Halobacterium marismortui LA [2].

These proteins have 92 to 105 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region located in the C-terminal part of these proteins.
