The intervening sequence of the ribosomal RNA gene is highly conserved between two Tetrahymena species.

چکیده
The entire intervening sequence of Tetrahymena thermophila ribosomal DNA has been determined. It is 413 nucleotides long and has the same splice junctions as those in T. pigmentosa. There is 93% homology between the intervening sequences in the two species, and 100% homology between their adjacent 26S RNA coding regions.

Comparative bioinformatics analysis of a wild diploid Gossypium with two cultivated allotetraploid species
Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملSequence requirements for self-splicing of the Tetrahymena thermophila pre-ribosomal RNA.
The sequence requirements for splicing of the Tetrahymena pre-rRNA have been examined by altering the rRNA gene to produce versions that contain insertions and deletions within the intervening sequence (IVS). The altered genes were transcribed and the RNA tested for self-splicing in vitro. A number of insertions (8-54 nucleotides) at three locations had no effect on self-splicing activity. Two ...
متن کاملRearranged 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...

In contrast to many prokaryotic and eukary-otic species which exhibit an intact 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule, examination of six A. actinomycetemcomitans strains-including thr...
