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
The Drosophila protein 'enhancer of rudimentary' (gene (e(r)) is a small protein of 104 residues whose function is not yet clear. From an evolutionary point of view, it is highly conserved [1] and has been found to exist in probably all multicellular eukaryotic organisms. It has been proposed that this protein plays a role in the cell cycle.
As as signaure pattern, we selected a conserved region in the central part of the protein.
