The S4 domain is a small domain consisting of 60-65 amino acid residues that was detected in the bacterial ribosomal protein S4, eukaryotic ribosomal S9, two families of pseudouridine synthases, a novel family of predicted RNA methylases, a yeast protein containing a pseudouridine synthetase and a deaminase domain, bacterial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases, and a number of uncharacterized, small proteins that may be involved in translation regulation [1]. The S4 domain probably mediates binding to RNA.
The function of this family is uncertain. The bacterial members are about 60-70 amino acids in length and the eukaryotic examples are about 120 amino acids in length. The C terminus contains the strongest conservation. Trm112p is required for tRNA ...
The function of this family is uncertain. The bacterial members are about 60-70 amino acids in length and the eukaryotic examples are about 120 amino acids in length. The C terminus contains the strongest conservation. Trm112p is required for tRNA methylation in S. cerevisiae and is found in complexes with 2 tRNA methylases (TRM9 and TRM11) also with putative methyltransferase YDR140W [1]. The zinc-finger protein Ynr046w is plurifunctional and a component of the eRF1 methyltransferase in yeast [2]. The crystal structure of Ynr046w has been determined to 1.7 A resolution. It comprises a zinc-binding domain built from both the N- and C-terminal sequences and an inserted domain, absent from bacterial and archaeal orthologs of the protein, composed of three alpha-helices [2].
This family includes: Ribosomal L7A from metazoa, Ribosomal L8-A and L8-B from fungi, 30S ribosomal protein HS6 from archaebacteria, 40S ribosomal protein S12 from eukaryotes, Ribosomal protein L30 from eukaryotes and archaebacteria. Gadd45 and MyD11 ...

This family of ribosomal proteins consists mainly of the 40S ribosomal protein S27a which is synthesised as a C-terminal extension of ubiquitin (CEP). The S27a domain compromises the C-terminal half of the protein. The synthesis of ribosomal proteins as extensions of ubiquitin promotes their incorporation into nascent ribosomes by a transient metabolic stabilisation and is required for efficient ribosome biogenesis [3]. The ribosomal extension protein S27a contains a basic region that is proposed to form a zinc finger; its fusion gene is proposed as a mechanism to maintain a fixed ratio between ubiquitin necessary for degrading proteins and ribosomes a source of proteins [2].
