Ribosomal protein L5 signature


Description

Ribosomal protein L5 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L5 is known to be involved in binding 5S RNA to the large ribosomal subunit. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2,3,4], groups:

  • Eubacterial L5.
  • Algal chloroplast L5.
  • Cyanelle L5.
  • Archaebacterial L5.
  • Mammalian L11.
  • Tetrahymena thermophila L21.
  • Slime mold L5 (V18).
  • Yeast L16 (39A).
  • Plants mitochondrial L5.

L5 is a protein of about 180 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we have selected a conserved region, located in the first third of these proteins.
