Rearranged coding segments, separated by a transfer RNA gene, specify the two parts of a discontinuous large subunit ribosomal RNA in Tetrahymena pyriformis mitochondria.
In the mitochondria of Tetrahymena pyriformis ST, the large subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA) is discontinuous, consisting of two species, alpha (280 nucleotides in length) and beta (approximately equal to 2.45 kilobases long). LSU alpha is the 5'-terminal portion (i.e. a 5.8 S-like rRNA), and LSU beta constitutes the rest of this LSU rRNA, as judged by both primary and secondary structure homol...
متن کاملRegulation of ribosomal RNA synthesis in Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Ribosomal RNA is synthesized at constant rate during most of the cell cycle in heat-shock synchronized populations of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Early in each macronuclear S-period the rate of synthesis increases abruptly, concomitant with replication of the genes coding for ribosomal RNA. The increase is prevented by inhibitors of DNA replication, added prior to the S-period. Similarly, in cultur...
متن کاملA single integrated gene for ribosomal RNA in a eucaryote, Tetrahymena pyriformis.
The macronucleus of the protozoan, Tetrahymena, is known to contain multiple rRNA genes which are not linked to the chromosomes. Here we present evidence that the germinal micronucleus of this organism contains a single gene for rRNA integrated into the chromosomal DNA. Unlike the extrachromosomal copies of the macronucleus, which are composed of a pair of reversely repeated sequences (a palind...
متن کاملCompilation of small ribosomal subunit RNA structures
The database on small ribosomal subunit RNA structure contained 1804 nucleotide sequences on April 23, 1993. This number comprises 365 eukaryotic, 65 archaeal, 1260 bacterial, 30 plastidial, and 84 mitochondrial sequences. These are stored in the form of an alignment in order to facilitate the use of the database as input for comparative studies on higher-order structure and for reconstruction ...
متن کاملCompilation of small ribosomal subunit RNA sequences.
The database on small ribosomal subunit RNA (further abbreviated as SSU rRNA) structure has more than doubled in size in one year's time and currently contains 927 aligned sequences. Table 1 only lists the 475 sequences (references 1 —475) that were added to the database since publication of the last compilation (476). The latter should be consulted for data and references concerning the sequen...
