* Ribosomal protein S8e signature *
***********************************

A number of eukaryotic  and  archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped
on the basis of sequence similarities [1]. One of these families consists of:

 - Mammalian S8.
 - Caenorhabditis elegans S8 (F42C5.8).
 - Leishmania major S8.
 - Plant S8.
 - Yeast S8 (S14) (Rp19).
 - Archebacterial S8e.

These proteins  have either about 220 amino acids (in eukaryotes) or about 125
amino acids (in archebacteria). As a signature pattern we selected a conserved
stretch which is located in the N-terminal section and which is rich in
positively charged residues.

-Consensus pattern: [KR]-x(2)-[ST]-G-[GAR]-x(5,6)-[KRHSA]-x-[KRT]-x-[KR]-x-
                    [EA]-[LIMPA]-G
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in Swiss-Prot: NONE.
-Last update: December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
