The sequence of 5'-region (16-296 n.) of 16S rRNA of plague agent (Yersinia pestis) was determined after sequencing of cloned cDNA fragments complementary to this region. When compared to the same region of 16S rRNA of Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris this region revealed 91.8% and 87.2% of homology, respectively. The sequences specific for Y. pestis 16S rRNA were localized and their secondary structure position was discussed. 相似文献

The DNA sequence of the spacer (plus flanking) regions separating the 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA genes of two presumptive rDNA operons of the archaebacterium Methanococcus vannielii was determined. The spacers are 156 and 242 base pairs in size and they share a sequence homology of 49 base pairs following the 3' terminus of the 16S rRNA gene and of about 60 base pairs preceding the 5' end of the 23S rRNA gene. The 242 base pair spacer, in addition contains a sequence which can be transcribed into tRNAAla, whereas no tRNA-like secondary structure can be delineated from the 156 base pair spacer region. Almost complete sequence homology was detected between the end of the 16S rRNA gene and the 3' termini of either Escherichia coli or Halobacterium halobium 16S rRNA, whereas the putative 5' terminal 23S rRNA sequence shared partial homology with E. coli 23S rRNA and eukaryotic 5.8S rRNA. 相似文献

We present the sequence of the 26S rRNA of the yeast Saccharomyces carlsbergensis as inferred from the gene sequence. The molecule is 3393 nucleotides long and consists of 48% G+C; 30 of the 43 methyl groups can be located in the sequence. Starting from the recently proposed structure of E. coli 23S rRNA (see ref. 25) we constructed a secondary structure model for yeast 26S rRNA. This structure is composed of 7 domains closed by long-range base pairings as n the bacterial counterpart. Most domains show considerable conservation of the overall structure; unpaired regions show extended sequence homology and the base-paired regions contain many compensating base pair changes. The extra length of the yeast molecule is due to a number of insertions in most of the domains, particularly in domain II. Domain VI, which is extremely conserved, is probably part of the ribosomal A site. alpha-Sarcin, which apparently inhibits the EF-1 dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA, causes a cleavage between position 3025 and 3026 in a conserved loop structure, just outside domain VI. Nearly all of the located methyl groups, like in E. coli, are present in domain II, V and VI and clustered to a certain extent mainly in regions with a strongly conserved primary structure. The only three methyl groups of 26S rRNA which are introduced relatively late during the processing are found in single stranded loops in domain VI very close to positions which have been shown in E. coli 23S rRNA to be at the interface of the ribosome. 相似文献

The sequence of a 2 kb DNA fragment containing the chloroplast 16S ribosomal RNA gene from Chlamydomonas reinhardii and its flanking regions has been determined. The algal 16S rRNA sequence (1475 nucleotides) and secondary structure are highly related to those found in bacteria and in the chloroplasts of higher plants. In contrast, the flanking regions are very different. In C. reinhardii the 16S rRNA gene is surrounded by AT rich segments of about 180 bases, which are followed by a long stretch of complementary bases separated from each other by 1833 nucleotides. It is likely that these structures play an important role in the folding and processing of the precursor of 16S rRNA. The primary and secondary structures of the binding sites of two ribosomal proteins in the 16SrRNAs of E. coli and C. reinhardii are considerably related. 相似文献

A DNA fragment of about 2000 base pairs carrying the gene for tRNA(1) (Ile) has been cloned from a total Eco RI endonuclease digest of Escherichia coli DNA. Sequence analyses revealed that about the first 850 base pairs from one end of the fragment contain a nucleotide sequence corresponding to that in the 3'-end of 16S rRNA. The gene for tRNA(Ile) follows the 16S rRNA gene and both genes flank a spacer sequence of 68 base pairs. The spacer region contains a repeating, a hair pin and a symmetrical structure when the sequence is viewed in the single stranded form. A notable hair pin structure is also observed in the region adjacent to the 3'-end of the tRNA(1) (Ile) gene. In addition, about 850 base pairs from the other end of the DNA fragment have been found to contain the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-end of 23S rRNA. The presence of the genes for tRNA(1) (Ile), 16S and 23S rRNA and the hybridization to tRNA(1) (Ala) suggest that this cloned DNA is part of one of the E. coli rRNA operons carrying these two tRNA genes as a spacer.Images 相似文献

Colicin E3 is a ribonuclease that specifically cleaves at the site after A1493 of 16S rRNA in Escherichia coli ribosomes, thus inactivating translation. To analyze the interaction between colicin E3 and 16S rRNA, we used in vitro selection to isolate RNA ligands (aptamers) that bind to the C-terminal ribonuclease domain of colicin E3, from a degenerate RNA pool. Although the aptamers were not digested by colicin E3, they specifically bound to the protein (K(d) = 2-14 nM) and prevented the 16S rRNA cleavage by the C-terminal ribonuclease domain. Among these aptamers, aptamer F2-1 has a sequence similar to that of the region around the cleavage site from residue 1484 to 1506, including the decoding site, of E. coli 16S rRNA. The secondary structure of aptamer F2-1 was determined by the base pair covariation among the variants obtained by a second in vitro selection, using a doped RNA pool based on the aptamer F2-1 sequence. The sequence and structural similarities between the aptamers and 16S rRNA provide insights into the recognition of colicin E3 by this specific 16S rRNA region. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of a region (leader region) preceding the 5'-end of 16S-23S rRNA gene region of Euglena gracilis chloroplast DNA was compared with the homologous sequences that code for the 16S-23S rRNA operons of Euglena and E. coli. The leader region shows close homology in sequence to the 16S-23S rRNA gene region of Euglena (Orozco et al. (1980) J. Biol.Chem. 255, 10997-11003) as well as to the rrnD operon of E. coli, suggesting that it was derived from the 16S-23S rRNA gene region by gene duplication. It was shown that the leader region had accumulated nucleotide substitutions at an extremely rapid rate in its entirety, similar to the rate of tRNAIle pseudogene identified in the leader region. In addition, the leader region shows an unique base content which is quite distinct from those of 16S-23S rRNA gene regions of Euglena and E. coli, but again is similar to that of the tRNAIle pseudogene. The above two results strongly suggest that the leader region contains a pseudogene cluster which was derived from a gene cluster coding for the functional 16S-23S rRNA operon possibly by imperfect duplication during evolution of Euglena chloroplast DNA. 相似文献

Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) (16S, 23S, 5S) encoded by the rrn operons and ribosomal proteins play a very important role in the formation of ribosomes and in the control of translation. Five copies of the rrn operon were reported by hybridization studies in Brevibacterium (Corynebacterium) lactofermentum but the genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum provided evidence for six rrn copies. All six copies of the C. glutamicum 16S rRNA have a size of 1523 bp and each of the six copies of the 5S contain 120 bp whereas size differences are found between the six copies of the 23S rRNA. The anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequence at the 3'-end of the 16S rRNA was 5'-CCUCCUUUC-3'. Each rrn operon is transcribed as a large precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) that is processed by RNaseIII and other RNases at specific cleavage boxes that have been identified in the C. glutamicum pre-rRNA. A secondary structure of the C. glutamicum 16S rRNA is proposed. The 16S rRNA sequence has been used as a molecular evolution clock allowing the deduction of a phylogenetic tree of all Corynebacterium species. In C. glutamicum, there are 11 ribosomal protein gene clusters encoding 42 ribosomal proteins. The organization of some of the ribosomal protein gene cluster is identical to that of Escherichia coli whereas in other clusters the organization of the genes is rather different. Some specific ribosomal protein genes are located in a different cluster in C. glutamicum when compared with E. coli, indicating that the control of expression of these genes is different in E. coli and C. glutamicum. 相似文献

The terminal 220 base pairs (bp) of the gene for 18S rRNA and 18 bp of the adjoining spacer rDNA of the silkworm Bombyx mori have been sequenced. Comparison with the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of Escherichia coli has shown that a region including 45 bp of the B. mori sequence at the 3' end is remarkably homologous with the 3' terminal E. coli sequence. Other homologies occur in the terminal regions of the 18S and 16S rRNAs, including a perfectly conserved stretch of 13 bp within a longer homology located 150--200 bp from the 3' termini. These homologies are the most extensive so far reported between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of 16S rDNA from Euglena gracilis chloroplasts has been determined representing the first complete sequence of an algal chloroplast rRNA gene. The structural part of the 16S rRNA gene has 1491 nucleotides according to a comparative analysis of our sequencing results with the published 5'- and 3'-terminal "T1-oligonucleotides" from 16S rRNA from E. gracilis. Alignment with 16S rDNA from Zea mays chloroplasts and E. coli reveals 80 to 72% sequence homology, respectively. Two deletions of 9 and 23 nucleotides are found which are identical in size and position with deletions observed in 16S rDNA of maize and tobacco chloroplasts and which seem to be characteristic for all chloroplast rRNA species. We also find insertions and deletions in E. gracilis not seen in 16S rDNA of higher plant chloroplasts. The 16S rRNA sequence of E. gracilis chloroplasts can be folded by base pairing according to the general 16S rRNA secondary structure model. 相似文献

Extensive studies in our laboratory using different ribonucleases resulted in valuable data on the topography of the E.coli 16S ribosomal RNA within the native 30S subunit, within partially unfolded 30S subunits, in the free state, and in association with individual ribosomal proteins. Such studies have precise details on the accessibility of certain residues and delineated highly accessible RNA regions. Furthermore, they provided evidence that the 16S rRNA is organized in its subunit into four distinct domains. A secondary structure model of the E.coli 16S rRNA has been derived from these topographical data. Additional information from comparative sequence analyses of the small ribosomal subunit RNAs from other species sequenced so far has been used. 相似文献

We have derived a secondary structure model for 16S ribosomal RNA on the basis of comparative sequence analysis, chemical modification studies and nuclease susceptibility data. Nucleotide sequences of the E. coli and B. brevis 16S rRNA chains, and of RNAse T1 oligomer catalogs from 16S rRNAs of over 100 species of eubacteria were used for phylogenetic comparison. Chemical modification of G by glyoxal, A by m-chloroperbenzoic acid and C by bisulfite in naked 16S rRNA, and G by kethoxal in active and inactive 30S ribosomal subunits was taken as an indication of single stranded structure. Further support for the structure was obtained from susceptibility to RNases A and T1. These three approaches are in excellent agreement. The structure contains fifty helical elements organized into four major domains, in which 46 percent of the nucleotides of 16S rRNA are involved in base pairing. Phylogenetic comparison shows that highly conserved sequences are found principally in unpaired regions of the molecule. No knots are created by the structure. 相似文献

A well-established feature of the translation initiation region, which attracts the ribosomes to the prokaryotic mRNAs, is a purine rich area called Shine/Dalgarno sequence (SD). There are examples of various other sequences, which despite having no similarity to an SD sequence are capable of enhancing and/or initiating translation. The mechanisms by which these sequences affect translation remain unclear, but a base pairing between mRNA and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is proposed to be the likely mechanism. In this study, using a computational approach, we identified a non-SD signal found specifically in the translation initiation regions of Escherichia coli mRNAs, which contain super strong SD sequences. Nine of the 11 E. coli translation initiation regions, which were previously identified for having super strong SD sequences, also contained six or more nucleotides complementary to box-17 on the 16S rRNA (nucleotides 418-554). Mutational analyses of those initiation sequences indicated that when complementarity to box-17 was eliminated, the efficiency of the examined sequences to mediate the translation of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) mRNA was reduced. The results suggest that mRNA sequences with complementarity to box-17 of 16S rRNA may function as enhancers for translation in E. coli. 相似文献

An heterologous complex was formed between E. coli protein L1 and P. vulgaris 23S RNA. We determined the primary structure of the RNA region which remained associated with protein L1 after RNase digestion of this complex. We also identified the loci of this RNA region which are highly susceptible to T1, S1 and Naja oxiana nuclease digestions respectively. By comparison of these results with those previously obtained with the homologous regions of E. coli and B. stearothermophilus 23S RNAs, we postulate a general structure for the protein L1 binding region of bacterial 23S RNA. Both mouse and human mit 16S rRNAs and Xenopus laevis and Tetrahymena 28S rRNAs contain a sequence similar to the E. coli 23s RNS region preceding the L1 binding site. The region of mit 16S rRNA which follows this sequence has a potential secondary structure bearing common features with the L1-associated region of bacterial 23S rRNA. The 5'-end region of the L11 mRNA also has several sequence potential secondary structures displaying striking homologies with the protein L1 binding region of 23S rRNA and this probably explains how protein L1 functions as a translational repressor. One of the L11 mRNA putative structures bears the features common to both the L1-associated region of bacterial 23S rRNA and the corresponding region of mit 16S rRNA. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S ribosomal RNA gene from a blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans 总被引:34,自引:0,他引:34
The complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S ribosomal RNA gene from a blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans, has been determined. Its coding region is estimated to be 1,487 base pairs long, which is nearly identical to those reported for chloroplast 16S rRNA genes and is about 4% shorter than that of the Escherichia coli gene. The 16S rRNA sequence of A. nidulans has 83% homology with that of tobacco chloroplast and 74% homology with that of E. coli. Possible stem and loop structures of A. nidulans 16S rRNA sequences resemble more closely those of chloroplast 16S rRNAs than those of E. coli 16S rRNA. These observations support the endosymbiotic theory of chloroplast origin. 相似文献
