The number of amino acid residues contained in the S1 ribosomal protein of various bacteria varies in a wide range: from 111 to 863 residues in Spiroplasma kunkelii and Treponema pallidum, respectively. The architecture of this protein is traditionally (in particular, because of unknown spatial structure) represented as repeated S1 domains, the copy number of which depends on the protein length. The data on the copy number and boundaries of these domains is available in specialized databases, such as SMART, Pfam, and PROSITE; however, these data can be rather different for the same object. In this work, we used the approach utilizing analysis of predicted secondary structure (PsiPred program). This allowed us to detect the structural domains in S1 protein sequences; their copy number varied from one to six. Alignment of the S1 proteins containing different numbers of domains with the S1 RNA-binding domain of Escherichia coli polynucleotide phosphorylase provided for discovering a domain within this family displaying the maximal homology to the E. coli domain. This conservative domain migrates along the chain, and its location in the proteins with different numbers of domains follows a certain pattern. Similar to the S1 domain of polynucleotide phosphorylase, residues Phe19, Phe22, His34, Asp64, and Arg68 in this conservative domain are clustered on the surface to form an RNA-binding site.
