The S4 ribosomal protein leader is a ribosomal protein leader involved in ribosome biogenesis. It is used as an autoregulatory mechanism to control the concentration of the ribosomal protein S4. Two examples of such leaders that use different conserved structures, in Firmicutes and Gammaproteobacteria, have been experimentally confirmed.[2] Four additional S4 ribosomal protein leaders, each with distinct structures, were predicted in various bacteria phyla. In Bacteroidia[1] or Firmicutes,[2] the structure is located in the 5′ untranslated regions of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins S4 (rpsD), RNA polymerase alpha subunit (rpoA) and L17 (rplQ). In Clostridia[1] (whose S4 ribosomal protein leader differs from that of other Firmicutes) and Gammaproteobacteria,[2] the ribosomal proteins S13 (rpsM) and S11 (rpsK) were also part of the mRNA encoding region.[2]
