Secondary structure of the Dictyostelium discoideum small subunit ribosomal RNA.
We have used comparative analyses of prokaryotic and eukaryotic small subunit ribosomal RNAs to deduce a secondary structure for the Dictyostelium discoideum 18S rRNA. Most of the duplex regions are evolutionarily conserved in all organisms. We have taken advantage of the variation to the D. discoideum sequence (relative to the yeast and frog 19S rRNAs) to identify additional helical regions wh...
متن کاملCentromere sequence and dynamics in Dictyostelium discoideum
Centromeres play a pivotal role in the life of a eukaryote cell, perform an essential and conserved function, but this has not led to a standard centromere structure. It remains currently unclear, how the centromeric function is achieved by widely differing structures. Since centromeres are often large and consist mainly of repetitive sequences they have only been analyzed in great detail in a ...
متن کاملPrecursors of ribosomal RNA in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. Isolation and characterization.
The pathway of ribosomal RNA biogenesis in Dictyostelium discoideum has been defined through identification, isolation, and characterization of the rapidly labeled nuclear RNAs which are intermediates in the process. Comparison of the methylation patterns, base compositions, two-dimensional oligonucleotide maps, and hybridization properties of these intermediate RNAs with those of mature rRNAs ...
متن کاملPleiotropic Roles of a Ribosomal Protein in Dictyostelium discoideum
The cell cycle phase at starvation influences post-starvation differentiation and morphogenesis in Dictyostelium discoideum. We found that when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a D. discoideum cDNA that encodes the ribosomal protein S4 (DdS4) rescues mutations in the cell cycle genes cdc24, cdc42 and bem1. The products of these genes affect morphogenesis in yeast via a coordinated mouldin...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a Dictyostelium discoideum ribosomal protein gene.
We have identified a developmentally repressed large-subunit ribosomal protein gene of Dictyostelium discoideum based on sequence similarity to other ribosomal proteins. Protein rpl7 is homologous to large subunit ribosomal proteins from the rat and possibly to Mycoplasma capricolum and Escherichia coli, but is not similar to three sequenced ribosomal proteins in Dictyostelium. The rpl7 gene is...
