“…The mitochondrial sequences were found to be most related to the branch of eubacteria and chloroplasts. This result does not correspond to the tree of Vodkin et al [20] computed with the PAUP package [57] short eubacteria. The archaea and eukarya are slightly similar (E. coli -rat: 30.8% in 26 aa) to all the other S14 proteins.…”

“…This mtDNA encodes 16 ribosomal proteins similar to the mtDNA from liverwort: liverwort has proteins S1 and S10, but Acanthamoeba has the genes of proteins L11 and L14. Vodkin et al [20] found an rpl14 gene in mtDNA of A. polyphaga. The ciliated protozoon Paramecium tetraurelia retained four genes encoding proteins L2, L14, S12 and S14 [21].…”

The evolutionary relationships of ribosomal proteins from eubacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, chloroplasts and mitochondria were examined by their degree of conservation, their structural and functional properties and by the occurrence of conserved structural elements. The structural domains formed by the different protein families were studied. The occurrence of monophyletic groups was investigated for each protein family within the archaea. Phylogenetic trees were constructed between these organisms and together with the homologous sequences of the other phylogenetic domains. All organisms belonging to the archaea clearly formed a monophyletic group. The conserved sequence motifs were checked for the potential to form similar secondary structural elements.
