The respiratory system of chemolithoautotrophically-grown Alcaligenes latus contains a, b, and c type cytochromes. Two cytochrome oxidases were identified by their carbon monoxide difference spectra and their differing sensitivities to cyanide and carbon monoxide. The oxidases were cytochrome o and an a-type cytochrome. Ubiquinone was present in A. latus membranes and could be reduced by H2. The quinone analogue, 2-heptyl-4-hydroxy-quinoline-N-oxide (HQNO), was a strong inhibitor of the H2 oxidase reaction, but did not prevent the reduction of either ubiquinone or the cytochromes.Abbreviations HQNO 2-heptyl-4-hydroxy-quinoline-N-oxide - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine  相似文献

Seven strains of bacteria belonging to the Beggiatoa-Vitreoscilla group were studied for their respiratory activity and for the presence of electron transport conponents. All strains tested oxidized [1-14C] and [2-14C] acetate to 14CO2 at relatively high rates. All strains tested were N,N,N,N-tetramethylphenylenediamine (TMPD)-oxidase positive and contained spectra representing a-type and carbon monoxide-binding cytochromes. Most of the strains also contained spectra representing c-type and b-type cytochromes. Beggiatoa alba B18LD contained b-type, a-type, c-type and CO-binding cytochromes, the latter two being located in the 144,000 x g soluble fraction. B. alba also contained ubiquinone-8 as its only detectable quinone.Non-standard abbreviations BSS basal salts solution - BH Beggiatoa heterotrophic medium - BSO Beggiatoa sulfide oxidation medium - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethylphenylenediamine - Q8 ubiquinone-8  相似文献

Light inhibited each step of the denitrification process in whole cells of Rhodobacter sphaeroides forma sp. denitrificans. This inhibition by light was prevented in the presence of exogenous electron donors like N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) plus ascorbate or in the presence of an uncoupler (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone). Addition of myxothiazol restored the inhibition by light in uncoupled cells. Measurements of light-induced absorbance changes under these conditions showed that this inhibition is due, for the steps of reduction of nitrite to dinitrogen, to the photooxidation of cytochromes c 1 plus c 2 and not due to the photoinduced membrane potential. Moreover, the presence of oxygen inhibited almost all of the reduction of nitrate and nitrous oxide but only 70% of the reduction of nitrite to nitrous oxide. These inhibitions were overcome in the presence of TMPD plus ascorbate. This implies that the inhibition in presence of oxygen was due to a diversion of the reducing power from the denitrifying chain to the respiratory chain. It was concluded from this series of experiments that the reduction of nitrate to nitrite is inhibited when the ubiquinone pool is partly oxidized and that nitrite and nitrous oxide reductions are inhibited when cytochromes c 1 plus c 2 are oxidized by photosynthesis or respiration.Abbreviations R Rhodobacter - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine - HOQNO 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide - CCCP carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone - cytochrome c 1 cytochrome c 2 plus cytochrome c 1  相似文献

The cytochrome oxidase activity (oxygen uptake in the dark) of a membrane preparation from Anabaena variabilis was found to be stimulated by cytochrome c-553 and plastocyanin obtained from this alga. Cytochrome c from horse heart was as active as cytochrome c-553, whereas little or no stimulation of oxygen uptake was obtained with cytochromes c 2 from two Rhodospirillaceae, the plastidic cytochrome c-552 from Euglena, and plastocyanin from spinach. Cytochrome c-553 (A. variabilis) stimulated photosystem 1 activity in the same preparation much more than cytochrome c (horse heart). The results indicate that cytochrome c-553 and plastocyanin, besides their established function as electron donors of photosystem 1, participate in respiratory electron transport as reductants of a terminal oxidase. Photooxidation and dark oxidation show a different donor specificity.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll a - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine  相似文献

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti. Purine nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase were extracellularly excreted associating with the cell growth, and were purified partially or to apparent homogeniety from the culture filtrate. The enzymes are a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 18000–26000 and synthesize adenosine, guanosine and inosine 5-phosphate (mono, di or tri)-3-diphosphate such as pApp, ppApp, pppApp, pGpp, ppGpp, pppGpp and pppIpp by transferring a pyrophosphoryl group from the 5-position of ATP, dATP and pppApp to the 3-position of purine nucleotides in the presence of a divalent cation and in alkaline state.Abbreviations pppApp adenosine 5-triphosphate 3-diphosphate - ppApp adenosine 5-diphosphate 3-diphosphate - pApp adenosine 5-monophosphate 3-diphosphate - pppGpp guanosine 5-triphosphate 3-diphosphate  相似文献

The rate of CO2- and p-benzoquione-dependent photosynthetic O2 evolution by Anabaena variabilis cells remained unaltered and the rate of O2 uptake observed after switching off the light (endogenous respiration) was enhanced by a factor of 6–8 when the O2 concentration was increased from 200 to 400 M. Photosystem-I-linked O2 uptake and respiration of the cells incubated with ascorbate and N,N,NN-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine was not appreciable influenced by the O2 concentration. 2-Iodo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-2,4,4-trinitrodiphenyl ether, blocking electron transfer at the plastoquinone level, suppressed O2 evolution and had no influence on endogenous respiration. 2-n-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, an inhibitor of electron transfer between photosystems II and I, as well as the cytochrome-oxidase inhibitors N 3 - , CN- and NH2OH, caused a 35–50% retardation of endogenous respiration and blocked photosynthetic O2 evolution. The molar ratio of cytochromes b6, f, c-553, aa3 and photosystem-I reaction centers in the isolated membranes equalled approx. 2:1:2:0.7:2. It is inferred that endogenous respiration of A. variabilis cells is inhibited by the light-induced electron flow through both photosystems at the level of the plastoquinone-plastocyanin-oxidoreductase complex.Abbreviations DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DNP-INT 2-iodo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-2,4,4-trinitrodiphenyl ether - Hepes 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine ethansulfonic acid - TMPD N,N,NN-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine  相似文献

The establishment of the steady-state rate of photosynthetic O2 evolution by cells of Anabaena variabilis and other cyanobacteria was found to be preceded by a lag-phase the duration of which depended on the time of cell preincubation in the dark. Electron acceptors (benzoquinone, N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine or 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol) abolished the lag-phase as well as the inhibitory effect of cyanide on electron transfer. Mono-, di-and trivalent cations added to the cell suspension markedly reduced the lag-phase. As cation concentrations were increased, acceleration and subsequent deceleration of the O2 evolution rate were observed. The efficient concentrations of cations decreased as their valency increased. The lag-phase and the rate of photosynthetic O2 evolution by the blue-green algae are suggested to depend on the value of the membrane surface charge governing the electrostatic interaction between unidentified membrane-bound redox components. The combination of valinomycin and nigericin as well as gramicidin D enhanced the duration of the lagphase by deenergization of thylakoid membrane.Abbreviations 9AA 9-aminoacridine - BQ benzoquinone - DAD 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine - DPIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - FeCy ferrycyanide - HEPES N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethane-sulphonic acid - MES 2(N-morpholino)ethane sulphonic acid - TMPD N,N,NN-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine - Tris tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane  相似文献

Respiratory particles from hydrogen-grown Anacystis nidulans were found to oxidize H2, NADPH, NADH, succinate and ascorbate plus N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine at rates corresponding to 28, 15, 6, 2.5, and 70 nmol O2 taken up x mg protein–1xmin–1, respectively. The particles were isolated by brief sonication of lysozyme-pretreated cells. Respiratory activities were studied in terms of both substrate oxidation and O2 uptake. The stoichiometry between oxidation of H2, NADPH, NADH or succinate, and consumption of O2 was calculated to be 1.95+-0.1 with each substrate.Inhibitors of flavoproteins did not affect the oxyhydrogen reaction while 2-n-heptyl-8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide as well as compounds known to block the terminal oxidase impaired the oxidation of both H2 and of NAD(P)H or succinate in a parallel fashion. No additivity of O2 uptake was observed when NADPH, NADH or succinate was present in addition to H2. Instead, H2 uptake was depressed under such conditions, and also the oxidation of NAD(P)H or succinate was increasingly lowered by increasing H2 tensions.The results suggest that in Anacystis molecular hydrogen is oxidized through the same type of respiratory chain as are NAD(P)H and succinate. Moreover, the cyanide-resistant branch of respiratory O2 uptake will be discussed, and a few results obtained with particles prepared from thylakoid-free Anacystis will also be presented.Abbreviations BAL 2,3-dimercaptopropanol-(1) - DCPIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - HOQNO 2-n-heptyl-8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine - tricine N-tris-(hydroxymethyl)-methylglycine - Tris tris-(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane - TTFA thenoyltrifluoroacetone NAD(P)H indicates NADPH and/or NADH  相似文献

Digitonin was applied to permeabilize the plasma membrane of Bothrops alternatus erythrocytes to study respiration, oxidative phosphorylation and Ca2+ transport by mitochondria in situ. These mitochondria oxidized added NAD-linked substrates, succinate and N,N,N, N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine. Respiration was sensitive to rotenone and cyanide but not to antimycin A. This indicates that Bothrops mitochondria possess the respiratory complexes NADH-ubiquinone, succinate-ubiquinone, and ferrocytochrome c-oxygen oxidoreductases, although the lack of sensitivity to antimycin A raises doubt about the composition of the ubiquinol cytochrome c-reductase complex. An ability to build up and sustain a membrane potential was documented by their capacity to accumulate tetraphenylphosphonium and Ca2+ through an uncoupler-sensitive mechanism. Addition of ADP caused a transient decrease in the membrane potential, indicating that this is the predominant driving force for ATP synthesis as in most types of mitochondria. Uncoupling of phosphorylation from the oxidative process increased hemoglobin O2 affinity, which suggests that ATP production by mitochondria may participate in modulation of O2 transport by hemoglobin.Abbreviations membrane potential - BAE Bothrops alternatus erythrocytes - DNP 2,4-dinitrophenol - DPG 2,3-diphosphoglycerate - EGTA ethyleneglycol tetra-acetic acid - FCCP carbonylcyanide p-trifloromethoxyphenylhydrazone - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine - TPP+ tetraphenylphosphonium - TRIS tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane  相似文献

TheN-linked carbohydrate chains of the-subunit of highly purified urinary human chorionic gonadotropin have been re-investigated. The oligosaccharides were released enzymatically by peptide-N 4-(N-acetyl--glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase-F, and fractionated by a combination of FPLC and HPLC. As a result of the application of improved fractionation methods, apart from the earlier reported carbohydrate chains, also small amounts of trisialo tri- and tri-antennary oligosaccharides were found.

Campylobacter sputorum subspeciesbubulus contains a membrane-bound nitrite reductase which catalyses the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonia. Formate andL-lactate are used as hydrogen donors. Cells ofC. sputorum grown with nitrate or nitrite contain cytochromes of theb-andc-type and a carbon monoxide-binding cytochromec. In addition, a special membrane-bound carbon monoxide-binding pigment is found. Nitrite reduction with formate orL-lactate as a hydrogen donor is strongly inhibited by 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HQNO). Nitrite reduction by bacterial suspensions with lactate as a hydrogen donor is strongly inhibited by carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone (CCCP) whereas nitrite reduction with formate as a hydrogen donor is not inhibited at all. H+/O values and H+/NO 2 - values were measured with ascorbate + N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), formate (in the absence and presence of carbonic anhydrase) andL-lactate as a hydrogen donor. The results are summarized in a scheme for electron transport from formate or lactate to oxygen or nitrite which shows a periplasmic orientation of formate dehydrogenase and nitrite reductase and a cytoplasmic orientation of lactate dehydrogenase and oxygen reduction, and which shows proton translocation with a H+/2e value of 2.0. The H+/O and H+/NO 2 - values predicted by this scheme are in good agreement with the experimental values.Abbreviations CCCP carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone - HQNO 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide - MTPP+ methyltriphenylphosphonium cation - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine; H+/O (H+/NO 2 - ), number of protons liberated in the outer bulk phase at the reduction of one atom O (one ion NO 2 - ); H+/2e (q+/2e), number of protons (charges) translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane during flow of two electrons to an acceptor  相似文献

Pilobolus longipes spores were activated by either glucose or 6-deoxyglucose. Glucose-induced spore activation was previously shown to follow an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP. Concurrent with glucose-induced spore activation, were shifts in 6-deoxyglucose transport kinetics towards higher V max and K m values. Cyclic AMP derivatives also caused spore activation and similar changes in the kinetic parameters of 6-deoxyglucose transport. The time course of activation was paralleled by changes in transport activity. Inhibition of phosphodiesterase alone did not cause activation or induce changes in transport activity, but in combination with sub-optimal levels of either 6-deoxyglucose or cAMP derivatives, it amplified the germination signals to produce large increases in both spore activation and 6-deoxyglucose transport activity. These results support the conclusion that glucose transport in germinating spores is regulated by cAMP.Abbreviations IBMX 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine; monobutyryl cyclic AMP - N6 monobutyryladenosine 3:5-cyclic monophosphate - 8-bromo cyclic AMP 8-bromoadenosine 3:5-cyclic monophosphate  相似文献

The respiratory system of Rhizobium phaseoli CFN42 in free-living cultures was studied. Cytochromes b, c, o and aa 3 were found in fast growing cells cultured under forced aeration. Stationary aerobic cells, and semianaerobically grown cells showed decreased levels of cytochromes c, aa 3 and o, concomitant with a significant increase of b type cytochromes and the synthesis of a new cytochrome, tentatively identified as cytochrome d. Cell membranes with the highest content of cytochrome d (semianaerobically grown cells) showed the highest respiratory activities with NADH, succinate, malate or ascorbate-TMPD (N,N,N,N-tetramethyl p-phenylendiamine). In the presence of either of the above electron donors, cytochrome d was clearly reduced. NADH dependent respiration in membranes of fast growing cells (no cytochrome d detected) was abolished by 25 M KCN. This inhibitor concentration caused only 15–20% inhibition in membranes of semianaerobically grown cells (cyt d present). Moreover, in the presence of 1–5 mM KCN, the oxidation of cyt d and a b type cytochromes was spectrally detected. It is suggested that cyt d is a functional cytochrome in the respiratory system of free-living Rhizobia, probably acting as terminal oxidase.  相似文献

4-Methylumbelliferyl 6-O-benzyl--d-lactoside (6Bn-MU-Lac) and some related compounds were synthesizedvia different selective reactions including phase-transfer glycosylation. Their suitability as substrates for a fluorometric assay of ceramide glycanase (CGase) was evaluated. Among others, the 6Bn-MU-Lac, which is resistant to exogalactosidase, was found to be a suitable substrate for routine assay of the CGase activity.

The reduction of cyctochromesc +c 1 by durohydroquinone and ferrocyanide in electron transport particles (ETP) and intact cytochromec-depleted beef heart mitochondria has been studied. At least 94% of the ETP are in an inverted orientation. Durohydroquinone reduces 80% ofc +c 1 in ETP but less than 20% in mitochondria; sonication of mitochondria allows reduction of cytochromesc +c 1 (80%). Addition of ferrocyanide (effective redox potential +245 mV) to electron transport particles results in 30% reduction of cytochromesc +c 1. Addition of ferrocyanide to intact cytochromec-depleted mitochondria does not reduce cytochromec 1; treatment withN,N,N,N-tetramethylphenylenediamine, Triton X-100, or sonic oscillation results in 30% reduction of cytochromesc +c 1. TheK m value of ferrocyanide oxidase for K-ferrocyanide is pH-dependent in ETP only, increasing with increasing pH. The extent of reduction of cytochromec 1 is also pH-dependent in ETP only, the extent of reduction increasing with decreasing pH. On the basis of these data cytochromec 1 is exposed to the matrix face and cytochromec is exposed to the cytoplasmic face. No redox center other than cytochromec in the segment between the antimycin site and cytochromec is exposed on the C-side.Abbreviations Used: MES, 2(N-morpholino)-ethanesulfonic acid; EDTA, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; TMPD,N,N,N,N-tetramethylphenylenediamine; ETP, electron transport particles; NAD-NADH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; PMS, phenazine methosulfate.  相似文献

A cytochrome aa 3-type oxidase was isolated with and without a c-type cytochrome (cytochrome c-557) from Methylococcus capsulatus Bath by ion-exchange and hydrophobic chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100. Although cytochrome c-557 was not a constitutive component of the terminal oxidase, the cytochrome c ascorbate-TMPD oxidase activity of the enzyme decreased dramatically when the ratio of cytochrome c-557 to heme a dropped below 1:3. On denaturing gels, the purified enzyme dissociated into three subunits with molecular weights of 46,000, 28,000 and 20,000. The enzyme contains two heme groups (a and a 3), absorption maximum at 422 nm in the resting state, at 445 and 601 nm in the dithionite reduced form and at 434 and 598 nm in the dithionite reduced plus CO form. Denaturing gels of the cytochrome aa 3-cytochrome c-557 complex showed the polypeptides associated with cytochrome aa 3 plus a heme c-staining subunit with a molecular weight of 37,000. The complex contains approximately two heme a, one heme c, absorption maximum at 420 nm in the resting state and at 421, 445, 522, 557 and 601 nm in the dithionite reduced form. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 130 mol O2/min · mol heme a compared to 753 mol O2/min · mol heme a when isolated with cytochrome c-557.Abbreviations MMO methan monooxygenase - sMMO soluble methane monooxygenase - pMMO particulate methane monooxygenase - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride - Na2EDTA disodium ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid  相似文献

Our current work on a vacuolar membrane proton ATPase in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae has revealed that it is a third type of H+-translocating ATPase in the organism. A three-subunit ATPase, which has been purified to near homogeneity from vacuolar membrane vesicles, shares with the native, membrane-bound enzyme common enzymological properties of substrate specificities and inhibitor sensitivities and are clearly distinct from two established types of proton ATPase, the mitochondrial F0F1-type ATP synthase and the plasma membrane E1E2-type H+-ATPase. The vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase is composed of three major subunits, subunita (M r =67 kDa),b (57kDa), andc (20 kDa). Subunita is the catalytic site and subunitc functions as a channel for proton translocation in the enzyme complex. The function of subunitb has not yet been identified. The functional molecular masses of the H+-ATPase under two kinetic conditions have been determined to be 0.9–1.1×105 daltons for single-cycle hydrolysis of ATP and 4.1–5.3×105 daltons for multicycle hydrolysis of ATP, respectively.N,N-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide does not inhibit the former reaction but strongly inhibits the latter reaction. The kinetics of single-cycle hydrolysis of ATP indicates the formation of an enzyme-ATP complex and subsequent hydrolysis of the bound ATP to ADP and Pi at a 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazolesensitive catalytic site. Cloning of structural genes for the three subunits of the H+-ATPase (VMA1, VMA2, andVMA3) and their nucleotide sequence determination have been accomplished, which provide greater advantages for molecular biological studies on the structure-function relationship and biogenesis of the enzyme complex. Bioenergetic aspects of the vacuole as a main, acidic compartment ensuring ionic homeostasis in the cytosol have been described.Abbreviations CCCP carbonyl cyanidem-chlorophenyl hydrazone - DCCD N,N-dicyclohexylcarbondiimide - DES diethylstilbestrol - DIDS 4,4-diisothiocyano-2,2-stilbene disulfonic acid - NBD-Cl 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole - Pi inorganic phosphate - SDS sodium dodecylsulfate - SF6847 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylidenemalononitrile - SITS 4-acetamide-4-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid - ZW3-14 N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate  相似文献

Adventitious shoot regeneration was compared among leaf, stem and petal explants of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cv. Scania on MS medium containing different concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). High frequency regeneration was obtained only from petal explants on the media containing 5 to 10 M BA with or without 5 M NAA. Among the cytokinins tested, N-2-chloro-4-pyridyl-N-phenylurea and N-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl-N-N-phenylurea were more effective than BA, kinetin, N6-2-isopentenyl adenine and zeatin on regeneration from petal explants. Although, high frequency shoot regeneration was obtained from all petal explants harvested from various developmental stages of buds, a significant decrease in regeneration capacity was observed in the explants obtained from fully-opened flowers.

The interaction of the membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenase from the anaerobic but aerotolerant bacterium Zymomonas mobilis with components of the electron transport chain has been studied. Cytoplasmic membranes showed reduction of oxygen to water with the substrates glucose or NADH. The effects of the respiratory chain inhibitors piericidin, capsaicin, rotenone, antimycin, myxothiazol, HQNO, and stigmatellin on the oxygen comsumption rates in the presence of NADH or glucose as substrates indicated that a complete and in the most parts identical respiratory chain is participating in the glucose as well as in the NADH oxidation. Furthermore, the presence of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone 10) in Z. mobilis was demonstrated. Extraction from and reincorporation of the quinone into the membranes revealed that ubiquinone is essential for the respiratory activity with glucose and NADH. In addition, a membrane-associated tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine-oxidase activity could be detected in Z. mobilis.Abbreviations ABTS 2,2-Azino-di-[3-ethyl-benzthiazolinesulfonate (6)] - GDH glucose dehydrogenase - HQNO 2-heptyl-4-hydroxy-quinoline-N-oxide - PQQ pyrroloquinoline quinone - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine  相似文献

Summary The nucleotide sequences of the rrnB 16S ribosomal RNA gene and its 5-and 3-flanking regions from Mycoplasma capricolum have been determined. The coding sequence is 1521 base pairs long, being 21 base pairs shorter than that of the Scherichia coli 16S rRNA gene. The 16S rRNA sequence of M. capricolum reveals 74% and 76% identity with that of E. coli and Anacystis nidulans, respectively. The secondary structure model constructed from the M. capricolum 16S rRNA.gene sequence resembles that proposed for E. coli 16S rRNA. A large stem structure can be constructed between the 5- and 3-flanking sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. The flanking regions are extremely rich in AT.  相似文献
