- * Ribosomal protein S17 signature *
- ***********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein S17 is one of the proteins from the small ribosomal subunit.
- In Escherichia coli, S17 is known to bind specifically to the 5' end of 16S
- ribosomal RNA and is thought to be involved in the recognition of termination
- codons. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of
- sequence similarities [1,2,3], groups:
-
- - Eubacterial S17.
- - Archaebacterial S17.
- - Plant chloroplast S17 (nuclear encoded).
- - Cyanelle S17.
- - Mammalian and plant cytoplasmic S11.
- - Yeast S18a and S18b (RP41; YS12).
-
- As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved regions located in the
- C-terminal section of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: G-D-x-[LIV]-x-[LIV]-x-[QEK]-x-[RK]-P-[LIV]-S
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Text revised.
