Abstract
The multi-domain bacterial S1 protein is the largest and most
functionally important ribosomal protein of the 30S subunit, which
interacts with both mRNA and proteins. The family of ribosomal S1
proteins differs in the classical sense from a protein with tandem
repeats and has a “bead-on-string” organization, where each repeat is
folded into a globular domain. Based on our recent data, the study of
evolutionary relationships for the bacterial phyla will provide evidence
for one of the proposed theories of the evolutionary development of
proteins with structural repeats: from multiple repeats of assembles to
single repeats, or vice versa. In this comparative analysis of 1333 S1
sequences that were identified in 24 different phyla; we demonstrate how
such phyla can independently/dependently form during evolution. To our
knowledge, this work is the first study of the evolutionary history of
bacterial ribosomal S1 proteins. The collected and structured data can
be useful to computer biologists as a resource for determining percent
identity, amino acid composition and logo motifs, as well as dN/dS ratio
in bacterial S1 protein. The obtained research data suggested that the
evolutionary development of bacterial ribosomal proteins S1 evolved from
multiple assemblies to single repeat. The presented data are integrated
