Fine structure of ribosomal RNA. II. Distribution of methylated sequences within Xenopus laevis rRNA. 总被引:6,自引:6,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文
The distribution of methyl groups in rRNA from Xenopus laevis was analyzed by hybridization of rRNA to subfragments of either of two cloned rDNA fragments, X1r11 and X1r12, which together constitute a complete rDNA repeat unit. Using a mixture of 3H-methyl plus 32P-labelled rRNA as probe, the molar yield of methyl groups per rRNA region in hybrid could be calculated. For this calculation the length of the rRNA coding region in each DNA subfragment is needed, which was determined for X1r11 subfragments by the nuclease S1 mapping method of Berk and Sharp. The results show that both in 18S and 28S rRNA the methyl groups are nonrandomly distributed. For 18S rRNA, clustering was found within a 3' terminal fragment of 310 nucleotides. For 28S rRNA, clustering of methyl groups was found within a region of 750 nucleotides in length, which ends 500 nucleotides from the 3' end. In contrast, the 28S rRNA 5' terminal region of 900 nucleotides is clearly undermethylated. The general position of methyl groups in 28S rRNA correlates with the location of evolutionarily conserved sequences in this molecule, as recently determined in our laboratory. 相似文献

The rDNA of eukaryotic organisms is transcribed as the 40S-45S rRNA precursor, and this precursor contains the following segments: 5' - ETS - 18S rRNA - ITS 1 - 5.8S rRNA - ITS 2 - 28S rRNA - 3'. In amphibians, the nucleotide sequences of the rRNA precursor have been completely determined in only two species of Xenopus. In the other amphibian species investigated so far, only the short nucleotide sequences of some rDNA fragments have been reported. We obtained a genomic clone containing the rDNA precursor from the Japanese pond frog Rana nigromaculata and analyzed its nucleotide sequence. The cloned genomic fragment was 4,806 bp long and included the 3'-terminus of 18S rRNA, ITS 1, 5.8S rRNA, ITS 2, and a long portion of 28S rRNA. A comparison of nucleotide sequences among Rana, the two species of Xenopus, and human revealed the following: (1) The 3'-terminus of 18S rRNA and the complete 5.8S rRNA were highly conserved among these four taxa. (2) The regions corresponding to the stem and loop of the secondary structure in 28S rRNA were conserved between Xenopus and Rana, but the rate of substitutions in the loop was higher than that in the stem. Many of the human loop regions had large insertions not seen in amphibians. (3) Two ITS regions had highly diverged sequences that made it difficult to compare the sequences not only between human and frogs, but also between Xenopus and Rana. (4) The short tracts in the ITS regions were strictly conserved between the two Xenopus species, and there was a corresponding sequence for Rana. Our data on the nucleotide sequence of the rRNA precursor from the Japanese pond frog Rana nigromaculata were used to examine the potential usefulness of the rRNA genes and ITS regions for evolutionary studies on frogs, because the rRNA precursor contains both highly conserved regions and rapidly evolving regions. 相似文献

The modified nucleotide content of the ribosomal RNAs in wheat is greatly influenced by light. The rRNAs of etiolated seedlings
contain far fewer modified derivatives. The modified nucleotide composition characteristic of green plants develops gradually
as a result of irradiation. In the course of the experiments changes in the state of modification of 5.8S and 18S rRNAs were
examined during the greening of etiolated wheat seedlings. Three types of minor nucleotides, O2′-methyladenosine, O2′-methylguanosine and pseudouridine were found in the 5.8S rRNA of green wheat leaves, none of which was detected in etiolated
wheat. The minor nucleotides appeared in the 5.8S rRNA only after 48 h irradiation. The sequences of 5.8S rDNA, TTS1, ITS2
and 18S rDNA were also determined and the presence of the hyper-modified nucleotide 1-methyl-3-(α-amino-α-carboxypropyl)-pseudouridine
was detected in green wheat 18S rRNA. This minor component was not demonstrable in etiolated wheat 18S rRNA, but appeared
after irradiation for 48 h.

5'-Cleavage site of D. melanogaster 18 S rRNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We determined the nucleotide sequence of the DNA region around the 5'-terminus of 18 S rRNA in two cloned rDNA gene units of Drosophila melanogaster. The 5'-base is within a sequence CATTATT which is present also at the 3'-terminus of the 18 S rRNA coding region. In this case it is known that the situation is CATTA3' . TT. With various methods we determined that the precise 5'-cleavage site is CATT . 5'ATT. 相似文献

Cotranscription and processing of 23S, 4.5S and 5S rRNA in chloroplasts from Zea mays 总被引:8,自引:3,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
The termini of rRNA processing intermediates and of mature rRNA species encoded by the 3' terminal region of 23S rDNA, by 4.5S rDNA, by the 5' terminal region of 5S rDNA and by the 23S/4.5S/5S intergenic regions from Zea mays chloroplast DNA were determined by using total RNA isolated from maize chloroplasts and 32P-labelled rDNA restriction fragments of these regions for nuclease S1 and primer extension mapping. Several processing sites detectable by both 3' and 5' terminally labelled probes could be identified and correlated to the secondary structure for the 23S/4.5S intergenic region. The complete 4.5S/5S intergenic region can be reverse transcribed and a common processing site for maturation of 4.5S and 5S rRNA close to the 3' end of 4.5S rRNA was detected. It is therefore concluded that 23S, 4.5S and 5S rRNA are cotranscribed. 相似文献
