The nucleotide sequence at the 3'-end of Neurospora crassa 18S-rRNA and studies on the interaction with 5S-rRNA. 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
The sequence of more than 100 nucleotides at the 3'-end of Neurospora crassa 18S-rRNA was determined by chemical sequencing techniques. Extensive homologies with 18S-rRNA from other eukaryotes were found. Inspection of the nucleotide sequence at the 3'-end of N. crassa 5S-rRNA revealed the presence of sequences complementary to a region near the 3'-terminus of 18S-rRNA. Under the appropriate conditions a complex was formed between 18S-rRNA and 5S-rRNA (Tm 53 degrees C). Interaction was detected between 5S-rRNA and a specific 3'-terminal fragment from 18S-rRNA and between 18S-rRNA and a specific 3'-terminal fragment from 5S-rRNA. These findings are consistent with the idea that intermolecular base-pairing between nucleotides at the 3'-ends of 18S-rRNA and 5S-rRNA may be functionally important within the ribosome. Further investigation revealed that this intermolecular base-pairing is not essential for ribosome stability. 相似文献

We have characterized the rRNA gene repeat in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. This repeat, which does not contain the 5S RNA gene, is found in a 10.4 kb HindIII DNA fragment. We have determined the nucleotide sequences of the S. pombe 5.8S RNA gene and intergenic spacers from two different 10.4 kb DNA fragments. Analysis of isolated total cellular 5.8S RNA revealed the presence of eight species of 5.8S RNA, differing in the number of nucleotides at the 5'-end. The eight 4.8S RNA species vary in length from 158 to 165 nucleotides. Apart from the heterogeneity observed at the 5'-end, the sequence of the eight 5.8S RNA species appears to be identical and is the same sequence as coded for by the 5.8S genes. The gene sequence shows great homology to the 5.8S RNA genes or S. cerevisiae and N. crassa. Most of the base differences are confined to the highly variable stem though to be involved in co-axial helix stacking with the 25S RNA, where base pairing is nearly identical despite the sequence differences. Secondary structure models are examined in light of 5.8S RNA oligonucleotide conservation across species from yeasts to higher eukaryotes. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the 25 S rRNA gene from one rDNA repeating unit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. The corresponding 25 S rRNA molecule contains 3392 nucleotides and has an estimated relative molecular mass (Mr, Na-salt) or 1.17 x 10(6). Striking sequence homology is observed with known 5'- and 3'-end terminal segments of L-rRNA from other eukaryotes. Possible models of interaction with 5.8 S rRNA are discussed. 相似文献

The cloned 18 S ribosomal RNA gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been sequenced, using the Maxam-Gilbert procedure. From this data the complete sequence of 1789 nucleotides of the 18 S RNA was deduced. Extensive homology with many eucaryotic as well as E. coli ribosomal small subunit rRNA (S-rRNA) has been observed in the 3'-end region of the rRNA molecule. Comparison of the yeast 18 S rRNA sequences with partial sequence data, available for rRNAs of the other eucaryotes provides strong evidence that a substantial portion of the 18 S RNA sequence has been conserved in evolution. 相似文献

Species identification of Radix Astragali (Huangqi) by DNA sequence of its 5S-rRNA spacer domain 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
About 300 species and varieties of Astragalus are identified in China, making the identification of the origin of a particular Astragalus species on the consumer market difficult. A molecular genetic approach was developed to identify various species of Astragalus. Although the 5S-rRNA coding sequence is conserved in higher eukaryotes, the spacer domain of the 5S-rRNA gene has great diversity among different species. The 5S-rRNA spacer domain was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the isolated genomic DNA, and the PCR products (approximately 300 bp) covering the 5S-rRNA spacer domain were sequenced. The nucleotide sequences of Astragalus membranaceus, A. membranaceus var. mongholicus, A. lehmannianus, A. hoantchy, and of one closely related species Hedysarum polybotrys (Hongqi), were determined. Diversity in DNA sequence and restriction enzyme mapping among various species was found in their 5S-rRNA spacer domains. This is the first report on the detection of 5S-rRNA spacer region sequence of Astragalus, and the results could be used for genetic identification of Huangqi. 相似文献

Like most eukaryotes, Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells contain a minor 5.8SL rRNA that, relative to the major 5.8SS species, carries several extra nucleotides at the 5'-end. The two species are produced by alternative pathways that differ in the events removing the 3'-terminal region of Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 from the 27SA2 pre-rRNA. Whereas the pathway leading to 5.8SS rRNA is well established, that producing the 5'-end of 5.8SL (called B1L) is poorly understood. Northern analysis of two different mutants of S. cerevisiae that overproduce 5.8SL rRNA revealed the presence of a fragment corresponding to the 3'-terminal region of Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 (ITS1) directly upstream from site B1L. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed this fragment to be associated with the trans-acting factor Rrp5p required for processing at the early sites A0-A3. Together these data clearly support that the 5'-end of 5.8SL rRNA is an endonucleolytic event. In vivo mutational analysis demonstrated the lack of any cis-acting sequence elements directing this cleavage within ITS1. 相似文献

DNA copies of the potato virus X (PVX) RNA corresponding to 2300 nucleotides at the 3'-end have been cloned. The cloned cDNA copies containing the nucleotides 445-1280 from the 3'-end have been sequenced. The 5'-terminal region of the PVX coat protein gene corresponds to residues 445-786 from the 3'-end. The amino acid sequences of two more open reading frames (ORF) have been deduced from the nucleotide sequence. The potential translation products of these ORF's would correspond to the nonstructural viral proteins. We have located the ORF1 within the region of residues 799-1009 preceding the coat protein cistron. The tentative protein is composed of 70 amino acids and has an aminoterminal segment which is markedly hydrophobic. ORF2 in the PVX sequence ends with UAG at nucleotides 942-944 and extends to the 5'-terminus for additional 340 nucleotides. The distant sequence homology exists between a carboxyterminal portion of PVX ORF2 and that of the nonstructural "30 K-proteins" of the plant tobamoviruses. 相似文献

Three of the four eukaryotic ribosomal RNA molecules (18S, 5.8S and 25-28S rRNA) are transcribed as a single precursor, which is subsequently processed into the mature species by a complex series of cleavage and modification reactions. Early cleavage at site A1 generates the mature 5'-end of 18S rRNA. Mutational analyses have identified a number of upstream regions in the 5' external transcribed spacer (5' ETS), including a U3 binding site, which are required in cis for processing at A1. Nothing is known, however, about the requirement for cis-acting elements which define the position of the 5'-end of the 18S rRNA or of any other eukaryotic rRNA. We have introduced mutations around A1 and analyzed them in vivo in a genetic background where the mutant pre-rRNA is the only species synthesized. The results indicate that the mature 5'-end of 18S rRNA in yeast is identified by two partially independent recognition systems, both defining the same cleavage site. One mechanism identifies the site of cleavage at A1 in a sequence-specific manner involving recognition of phylogenetically conserved nucleotides immediately upstream of A1 in the 5' ETS. The second mechanism specifies the 5'-end of 18S rRNA by spacing the A1 cleavage at a fixed distance of 3 nt from the 5' stem-loop/pseudoknot structure located within the mature sequence. The 5' product of the A1 processing reaction can also be identified, showing that, in contrast to yeast 5.8S rRNA, the 5'-end of 18S rRNA is generated by endonucleolytic cleavage. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the Neurospora crassa trp-3 gene-encoding tryptophan synthetase has been determined; we present an analysis of its structure. A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the trp-3 polypeptide with its homologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (encoded by the TRP5 gene) and Escherichia coli (encoded by the trpA and trpB genes) shows that the A and B domains (amino acid segments homologous to the trpA and trpB polypeptides, respectively) of the N. crassa and yeast polypeptides are in the same order (NH2-A-B-COOH). This arrangement is the reverse of the gene order characteristic of all prokaryotes that have been examined. N. crassa tryptophan synthetase has strong homology to the yeast TRP5 polypeptide (A domains have 54% identity; B domains have 75% identity), and somewhat weaker homology to the E. coli trpA and trpB polypeptides (A domains have 31% identity; B domains have 50% identity). The two domains of the N. crassa polypeptide are linked by a connector of 54-amino acid residues that has less than 25% identity to the 45-residue connector of the yeast polypeptide, although secondary structure analysis predicts both connectors would be alpha-helical. In contrast to the yeast TRP5 gene, which has no introns, the trp-3 coding region is interrupted by two introns 77 and 71 nucleotides in length. Both introns are located near the 5'-end of the gene and therefore not near the segment encoding the connector. 相似文献

Neurospora crassa ribosomes contain a species of ribonucleic acid (RNA) of molecular weight 54,000, similar to 5.8S ribosomal RNA previously described for other eukaryotic organisms. The 5.8S RNA from N. crassa was found to be released by heat treatment at 60 C from 25S ribosomal RNA but not from 18S ribosomal RNA. The base composition of N. crassa 5.8S RNA was similar to that of 5.8S RNA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but differed from animal 5.8S RNA. During the course of this study, it was discovered that N. crassa 25S ribosomal RNA had a number of internal cleavages that may exist in vivo. 相似文献

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of HeLa cell prosomal RNAs, 3'-end labeled by RNA ligase, revealed one prominent spot. Determination of a partial sequence at the 3'-end indicated full homology to the 18 nucleotides at the 3'-end of tRNA(Lys,3) from rabbit, the bovine and the human species. An oligonucleotide complementary to the 3'-end of tRNA(Lys,3) hybridized on Northern blots with prosomal RNA from both HeLa cells and duck erythroblasts. In two-dimensional PAGE, the major pRNA of HeLa cells co-migrated with bovine tRNA(Lys,3). Reconstitution of the CCA 3'-end of RNA from both human and duck prosomes, by tRNA-nucleotidyl-transferase, confirmed the tRNA character of this type of RNA. Furthermore, it revealed at least one additional tRNA band about 85 nt long among the prosomal RNA from both species. Finally, confirming an original property of prosomal RNA, we show that in vitro synthesized tRNA(Lys,3) hybridizes stably to duck globin mRNA, and to poly(A)(+)- and poly(A)(-)-RNA from HeLa cells. 相似文献

A recombinant M13 clone (O42) containing a 65 b.p. cDNA fragment from human fetal liver mRNA coding for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been identified and it has been used to isolate from a full-length human adult liver cDNA library a recombinant clone, pG1, which has been subcloned in M13 phage and completely sequenced with the chain terminator method. Besides the coding region of 1008 b.p., the cDNA sequence includes 60 nucleotides at the 5'-end and 204 nucleotides at the 3'-end up to the polyA tail. Hybridization of pG1 to human liver total RNA shows only one band about the size of pG1 cDNA. A much stronger hybridization signal was observed using RNA derived from human hepatocarcinoma and kidney carcinoma cell lines. Sequence homology between clone 042 and the homologous region of clone pG1 is 86%. On the other hand, homology among the translated sequences and the known human muscle protein sequence ranges between 77 and 90%; these data demonstrate the existence of more than one gene coding for G3PD. Southern blot of human DNA, digested with several restriction enzymes, also indicate that several homologous sequences are present in the human genome. 相似文献

This work is an in vitro study of the efficiency of catalytic antisense RNAs whose catalytic domain is the wild-type sequence of the hairpin ribozyme, derived from the minus strand of the tobacco ringspot virus satellite RNA. The sequence in the target RNA recognized by the antisense molecule was the stem-loop structure of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) TAR region. This region was able to form a complex with its antisense RNA with a binding rate of 2 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1). Any deletion of the antisense RNA comprising nucleotides of the stem-loop resulted in a decrease in binding rate. Sequences 3' of the stem in the sense RNA also contributed to binding. This stem-loop TAR-antisense segment, covalently linked to a hairpin ribozyme, enhanced its catalytic activity. The highest cleavage rate was obtained when the stem-loop structure was present in both ribozyme and substrate RNAs and they were complementary. Similarly, an extension at the 5'-end of the hairpin ribozyme increased the cleavage rate when its complementary sequence was present in the substrate. Inclusion of the stem-loop at the 3'-end and the extension at the 5'-end of the hairpin ribozyme abolished the positive effect of both antisense units independently. These results may help in the design of hairpin ribozymes for gene silencing. 相似文献

Double-stranded cDNA of in vitro polyadenylated alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV) RNA 2 has been cloned and sequenced. The use of an oligodeoxyribonucleotide corresponding to the known sequence of the 5'-end of RNA 2 to prime second-strand DNA synthesis, enabled us to construct the complete primary structure of AlMV RNA 2. The sequence of 2,593 nucleotides contains a long open reading frame for a protein of Mr 89,753 starting at the first AUG codon from the 5'-end. This coding region is flanked by a 5'-terminal sequence of 54 nucleotides and a 3'-noncoding region of 166 nucleotides which includes the sequence of 145 nucleotides the three genomic RNAs of AlMV have in common. 相似文献
