- * Ribosomal protein S6e signature *
- ***********************************
-
- A number of eukaryotic and archaebacterial ribosomal proteins can be grouped
- on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families consists of:
-
- - Mammalian S6 [1].
- - Drosophila S6 [2].
- - Plant S6 [3].
- - Yeast S10 (YS4).
- - Halobacterium marismortui HS13 [4].
-
- S6 is the major substrate of protein kinases in eukaryotic ribosomes [5]; it
- may have an important role in controlling cell growth and proliferation
- through the selective translation of particular classes of mRNA.
-
- These proteins have 135 to 249 amino acids. As a signature pattern, we
- selected a conserved stretch of 12 residues in the N-terminal part of these
- proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [LIVM]-[STAM]-G-G-x-D-x(2)-G-x-P-M
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
