Abstract
Net positive charge(s) on ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) have been reported to influence the assembly and folding of ribosomes. A high percentage of r-proteins from extremely halophilic archaea are known to be acidic or even negatively charged. Those proteins that remain positively charged are typically far less positively charged. Here, the analysis is extended to non-archaeal halophilic bacteria, eukaryotes, and halotolerant archaea. The net charges (pH 7.4) of the r-proteins that comprise the
