- * Ribosomal protein S14 signature *
- ***********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein S14 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit.
- In Escherichia coli, S14 is known to be required for the assembly of 30S
- particles and may also be responsible for determining the conformation of 16S
- rRNA at the A site. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the
- basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
-
- - Eubacterial S14.
- - Archaebacterial Methanococcus vannielii S14.
- - Algal and plants chloroplast S14.
- - Plant mitochondrial S14.
- - Yeast mitochondrial MRP2.
- - Mammalian S29.
-
- S14 is a protein of 53 to 115 amino-acid residues. Our signature pattern is
- based on the few conserved positions located in the center of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: R-x(0,1)-C-x(11,12)-[LIVMF]-x-[LIVMF]-[SC]-[RG]-x(3)-[RN]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: 4.
