Partial Sequence Analysis of the 5S to 18S rRNA Gene Region of the Maize Mitochondrial Genome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nucleotide sequence has been determined for a 664-base pair region of maize (Zea mays L.) mtDNA which contains the 3' end of the 18S rRNA gene, the 5S rRNA gene, and an intergenic region of 108 base pairs. Specific regions of the 18S rRNA gene show striking homology with the corresponding gene in Escherichia coli.

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...
متن کاملTranscriptional and Post-Transcriptional Regulation of RNA Levels in Maize Mitochondria.
Relatively little is known about the mechanisms that govern the expression of plant mitochondrial genomes. We have addressed this problem by analyzing the transcriptional activity of different regions of the maize mitochondrial genome using both in vivo and isolated mitochondrial pulse-labeling systems. The regions examined included the protein genes atpA, atp6, and coxII, the 26S, 18S, and 5S ...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence and evolution of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene in maize mitochondria.
The nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for the 18S ribosomal RNA of maize mitochondria has been determined and a model for the secondary structure is proposed. Dot matrix analysis has been used to compare the extent and distribution of sequence similarities of the entire maize mitochondrial 18S rRNA sequence with that of 15 other small subunit rRNA sequences. The mitochondrial gene shows gr...
متن کاملOrganization of the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes of maize.
The organisation of the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes in maize is described. Each of the rRNAs is encoded by a single gene. The 5S and 18S rRNA genes are close together, and separated from the 26S rRNA gene by 16 kb of DNA. There is no evidence of heterogeneity in this gene arrangement.
