- * Ribosomal protein S8 signature *
- **********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein S8 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit.
- In Escherichia coli, S8 is known to bind directly to 16S ribosomal RNA. It
- belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence
- similarities [1], groups:
-
- - Eubacterial S8.
- - Archaebacterial S8.
- - Algal and plant chloroplast S8.
- - Cyanelle S8.
- - Plant S15A.
- - Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial S8.
- - Strongylocentrotus purpuratus S24.
- - Yeast S22 (S24).
-
- As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved region located in the
- C-terminal section of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [GE]-x(2)-[LIV](2)-[STY]-T-x(2)-G-[LIVM](2)-x(4)-A-[RHA]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL, except
- for Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial S8.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Pattern and text revised.
