PROSITE documentation PDOC00724
Ribosomal protein L1e signature


Description

A number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists [1,2,3,4] of:

  • Vertebrate L1 (L4).
  • Drosophila L1.
  • Plant L1.
  • Yeast L2 (Rp2).
  • Fission yeast L2.
  • Halobacterium marismortui HmaL4 (HL6).
  • Methanococcus jannaschii MJ0177.

These proteins have 246 (archaebacteria) to 427 (human) amino acids. As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region in the N-terminal part of these proteins.
