- * Ribosomal protein S15 signature *
- ***********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein S15 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit.
- In Escherichia coli, this protein binds to 16S ribosomal RNA and functions at
- early steps in ribosome assembly. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins
- which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
-
- - Eubacterial S15.
- - Archaebacterial Halobacterium marismortui HmaS15 (HS11).
- - Plant chloroplast S15.
- - Yeast mitochondrial S28.
- - Mammalian S13.
- - Brugia pahangi and Wuchereria bancrofti S13 (S15).
- - Yeast S13 (YS15).
-
- S15 is a protein of 80 to 250 amino-acid residues. As a signature pattern, we
- selected a conserved region located in the C-terminal part of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [LIVM]-x(2)-H-[LIVMFY]-x(5)-D-x(2)-[SAGN]-x(3)-L-x(9)-
- [LIVM]-x(2)-Y
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
