Two regions of mouse rDNA were sequenced. One contained the last 323 nucleotides of the external transcribed spacer and the first 595 nucleotides of 18S rRNA; the other spanned the entire internal transcribed spacer and included the 3' end of 18S rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, and the 5' end of 28S rRNA. The mature rRNA sequences are very highly conserved from yeast to mouse (unit evolutionary period, the time required for a 1% divergence of sequence, was 30 X 10(6) to 100 X 10(6) years). In 18S rRNA, at least some of the evolutionary expansion and increase in G + C content is due to a progressive accretion of discrete G + C-rich insertions. Spacer sequence comparisons between mouse and rat rRNA reveal much more extensive and frequent insertions and substitutions of G + C-rich segments. As a result, spacers conserve overall G + C richness but not sequence (UEP, 0.3 X 10(6) years) or specific base-paired stems. Although no stems analogous to those bracketing 16S and 23S rRNA in Escherichia coli pre-rRNA are evident, certain features of the spacer regions flanking eucaryotic mature rRNAs are conserved and could be involved in rRNA processing or ribosome formation. These conserved regions include some short homologous sequence patterns and closely spaced direct repeats. 相似文献

Most repeat units of rDNA in Drosophila virilis are interrupted in the 28S rRNA coding region by an intervening sequence about 10 kb in length; uninterrupted repeats have a length of about 11 kb. We have sequenced the coding/intervening sequence junctions and flanking regions in two independent clones of interrupted rDNA, and the corresponding 28S rRNA coding region in a clone of uninterrupted rDNA. The intervening sequence is terminated at both ends by a direct repeat of a fourteen nucleotide sequence that is present once in the corresponding region of an intact gene. This is a phenomenon associated with transposable elements in other eukaryotes and in prokaryotes, and the Drosophila rDNA intervening sequence is discussed in this context. We have compared more than 200 nucleotides of the D. virilis 28S rRNA gene with sequences of homologous regions of rDNA in Tetrahymena pigmentosa (Wild and Sommer, 1980) and Xenopus laevis (Gourse and Gerbi, 1980): There is 93% sequence homology among the diverse species, so that the rDNA region in question (about two-thirds of the way into the 28S rRNA coding sequence) has been very highly conserved in eukaryote evolution. The intervening sequence in T. pigmentosa is at a site 79 nucleotides upstream from the insertion site of the Drosophila intervening sequence. 相似文献

Locations of methyl groups in 28 S rRNA of Xenopus laevis and man. Clustering in the conserved core of molecule 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
B E Maden 《Journal of molecular biology》1988,201(2):289-314
28 S ribosomal RNA from several vertebrate species contains some 68 to 70 methyl groups. Evidence described in this paper enables some 58 methyl groups to be located in the primary structure of 28 S ribosomal RNA from Xenopus laevis. Most of the locations are unambiguous but a few are currently tentative. In human 28 S ribosomal RNA the great majority of the same sites are methylated as in Xenopus, but there are a few differences between the respective methyl group distributions. The main features of the methyl group distribution are as follows. (1) All of the identified methyl groups are in conserved core regions of 28 S ribosomal RNA. (2) Methylation is much more heavily concentrated in the 3' region of the molecule than in the 5' region (in contrast to 18 S ribosomal RNA, in which there is a major cluster of 2'-O-methyl groups in the 5' region). (3) In addition to the heavily methylated 3' region, clusters of methyl groups occur elsewhere in 28 S ribosomal RNA in the vicinity of domain boundaries. For domains 3 to 6, the two ends of each domain are united in a helix and are linked to adjacent domains either directly or by short single-stranded regions. It therefore follows that the methyl groups near the boundaries of these domains come together into the same general region of the three-dimensional structure. Within this large-scale pattern of distribution, methyl groups occur in a variety of local environments, examples of which are discussed. The triply methylated sequence Am-Gm-Cm-A occurs in a short single-stranded region which links domain 3 to domain 4. Near the 3' end of domain 5 there is a cluster of 11 methyl groups including a 2'-O-methyl pseudouridine in a tract of 160 nucleotides whose sequence is totally conserved between Xenopus and man. These methyl groups are variously distributed between single-stranded regions and short or imperfect but conserved helices. A further cluster of methyl groups including the highly conserved Um-Gm-psi sequence occurs in a region of domain 6 which is implicated in peptidyl transfer. Possible relationships between methylation and other events in ribosome maturation are discussed. 相似文献

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
