- * Ribosomal protein L14 signature *
- ***********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein L14 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit.
- In eubacteria, L14 is known to bind directly to the 23S rRNA. It belongs to a
- family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1],
- groups:
-
- - Eubacterial L14.
- - Archaebacterial L14.
- - Algal and plant chloroplast L14.
- - Cyanelle L14.
- - Yeast L17A.
- - Mammalian L17.
- - Higher eukaryotes mitochondrial L14.
- - Yeast mitochondrial Yml38 (gene MRPL38).
-
- L14 is a protein of 119 to 137 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we
- selected a conserved region located in the C-terminal half of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: A-[LIV](3)-x(9,10)-[DNS]-G-x(4)-[FY]-x(2)-[NT]-x(2)-V-
- [LIV]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL, except
- for Acanthamoeba polyphaga mitochondrial L14.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Pattern and text revised.
