- * Ribosomal protein S12 signature *
- ***********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein S12 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit.
- In Escherichia coli, S12 is known to be involved in the translation initiation
- step. It is a very basic protein of 120 to 150 amino-acid residues. S12
- belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence
- similarities [1], groups:
-
- - Eubacterial S12.
- - Archaebacterial S12.
- - Algal and plant chloroplast S12.
- - Cyanelle S12.
- - Protozoa and plant mitochondrial S12.
- - Yeast S28.
- - Drosophila mitochondrial protein tko (Technical KnockOut).
-
- As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved regions in these
- proteins, located in the center of each sequence.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [RK]-x-P-N-S-[AR]-x-R
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL, except
- for Micrococcus luteus S12.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Text revised.
