Nucleotide sequence of the 5S ribosomal RNA gene of Bartonella bacilliformis.

چکیده
Eubacterial rRNA genes are usually organized in opeirons containing the 16S, 23S and 5S rRNA genes, in that order (I). A cluster of structural rRNA genes was discovered during nucleotide sequencing of a cloned 3.6-kb BamiiHI fragment of DNA from B. bacillifornis, the agent of Oroya fever in humans. The 5S rRNA gene is 119 bp in length and is located 107 bases 3' to the 23S rRNA gene of the bacterium (Figure IA). The gene contains the highly conserved eubacterial 5S rRNA sequence G-AAC (Figure IB), which is believed to interact with tRNA's during translation (2). The 5S gene is immediately preceded and followed by a 12-base inverted repeat flanked by adenine-rich sequences (Figure IB). Previous homology searches using the 1 6S rRNA sequence of B. bacilliformnis indicated that the bacterium was closely related to Rochalirnaea quintanti. Brucellai abortus, and Agrobacteriiumni tumniefacien.s with 91.7 %. 91.37(%. and 88.8% identity, respectively (3). In keeping with the high degree of 16S rRNA homology (3). searches with the 5S rRNA gene from this study show 84% sequence identity to the 5S gene of A. tumefacienis. The 5S sequence homology also suggests that B.bacilliformnis may be closely related to Vibrio cvclosite.s. with 91.6% 5S rRNA sequence identity (4). As the 16S rRNA sequence from V. cvclosites and the 5S rRNA sequences of R. quintana and B. abortus become available, a further homology comparison will be useful for the proper classification of B.bacilliformis. The bacterium is presently placed in the order Rickettsiales. However, it is the only motile species in the order and is one of just two genera, including Rochalirnaea. which can be cultured axenically (5).

A comparative phylogenetic analysis of Theileria spp. by using two two "18S ribosomal RNA" and "Theileria annulata merozoite surface antigen" gene sequences
More than 185 species, strains and unclassified Theileria parasites are categorized in the Entrez Taxonomy. The accurate diagnosis and proper identification of the causative agents are important for understanding the epidemiology, prevention and appropriate treatment. This study aims to discuss the importance of two genes of Theileria annulata 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) and Theileria annulata...

The primary structures of 16S rRNAs of Bartonella bacilliformis, an isolate of the cat scratch disease (CSD) bacillus, and a strain phenotypically similar to the CSD bacillus were determined by reverse transcriptase sequencing. These microorganisms were found to be members of the alpha-2 subgroup of the class Proteobacteria. The sequence from B. bacilliformis was most closely related to the rRN...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and proposal of a neotype strain for Bartonella bacilliformis.
Bartonella bacilliformis, the etiologic agent of bartonellosis, was characterized biochemically and by DNA hybridization, guanine-plus-cytosine content, genome size, and 16S rRNA sequencing. DNAs from the two strains in our collection exhibited 97% relatedness in hydroxyapatite reactions done at 55 degrees C (optimal reassociation criterion) and 100% relatedness in reactions done at 70 degrees ...

The nucleotide sequence of the cytoplasmic 5S ribosomal RNA from Scenedesmusobliquus has been determined using post-labelling techniques. The sequence is closely related to the 5S RNA sequence of Chlorella and contains all the areas of invariant sequence which appear to be conserved in plant cytoplasmic 5S RNA species.
