- * Ribosomal protein L2 signature *
- **********************************
-
- Ribosomal protein L2 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit.
- In Escherichia coli, L2 is known to bind to the 23S rRNA and to have
- peptidyltransferase activity. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins
- which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1,2], groups:
-
- - Eubacterial L2.
- - Archaebacterial L2.
- - Algal and plant chloroplast L2.
- - Cyanelle L2.
- - Plant L2.
- - Slime mold L2.
- - Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial L2.
- - Paramecium tetraurelia mitochondrial L2.
- - Fission yeast K5, K37 and KD4.
- - Yeast YL6.
- - Mammalian L8.
-
- As a signature pattern, we selected the best conserved region located in the
- C-terminal section of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: P-x(2)-R-G-[STAIV](2)-x-N-[AP]-x-[DE]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Pattern and text revised.
