Ribosomal protein S11 signature





Description

Ribosomal protein S11 [1] plays an essential role in selecting the correct tRNA in protein biosynthesis. It is located on the large lobe of the small ribosomal subunit. S11 belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities, groups [2]:

  • Eubacterial S11.
  • Algal and plant chloroplast S11.
  • Cyanelle S11.
  • Archaebacterial S11.
  • Marchantia polymorpha and Prototheca wickerhamii mitochondrial S11.
  • Acanthamoeba castellanii mitochondrial S11.
  • Neurospora crassa S14 (crp-2).
  • Yeast S14 (RP59 or CRY1).
  • Mammalian, Drosophila, Trypanosoma, and plant S14.
  • Caenorhabditis elegans S14 (F37C12.9).

We selected one of the best conserved regions in these proteins as a signature pattern.
