| Abstract: | The complete nucleotide sequence of the 5 S ribosomal RNA from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus lividus III was determined. The sequence is: 5′U-C- C-U-G-G-U-G-G-U-G-A-U-G-G-C-G-A-U-G-U-G-G-A-C-C-C-A-C-A-C-U-C-A-U-C- C-A-U-C-C-C-G-A-A-C-U-G-A-G-U-G-G-U-G-A-A-A-C-G-C-A-U-U-U-G-C-G-G-C- G-A-C-G-A-U-A-G-U-U-G-G-A-G-G-G-U-A-G-C-C-U-C-C-U-G-U-C-A-A-A-A-U-A- G-C-U-A-A-C-C-G-C-C-A-G-G-G-UOH3′This 5 S RNA has regional structural characteristics that are found in the green plant chloroplast 5 S RNAs and not in other known sequences of 5 S ribosomal RNAs. These homologies suggest a close phylogenetic relationship between S. lividus and the green plant chloroplasts. |
