Abstract
A number of eukaryotic and archaeal ribosomal proteins can be grouped on the basis of sequence similarities. One of these families includes yeast S7 (YS6); archaeal S4e; and mammalian and plant cytoplasmic S4 [ 1 ]. Two highly similar isoforms of mammalian S4 exist, one coded by a gene on chromosome Y, and the other on chromosome X. These proteins have 233 to 264 amino acids.
This entry represents the central domain of these proteins.
