Clusters of 5S rRNAs in the intergenic region of ubiquitin genes in Tetrahymena pyriformis.

چکیده
Here, we report the molecular analysis of two independent 5S rRNA clusters found in the intergenic region of two ubiquitin genomic clones isolated from Tetrahymena pyriformis. Each cluster contains two 120-bp-long coding regions organized in tandem with 142/145-bp-long spacers.

Phylogenetic relationships and unusual diversity in histone H4 proteins within the Tetrahymena pyriformis complex.
The 29 species of the Tetrahymena pyriformis complex are morphologically identical while being quite diverse at the molecular level. These species are also diverse relative to other eukaryotes. Phylogenetic relationships within the complex have been difficult to determine, because there are groups of closely related species, as well as individual species, that are highly divergent. We have sequ...
متن کاملThe nucleotide sequences of 5S rRNAs from three ciliated protozoa.
The nucleotide sequences of 5S rRNAs from three ciliated protozoa, Paramecium tetraurelia, Tetrahymena thermophila and Blepharisma japonicum have been determined. All of them are 120 nucleotides long and the sequence of probable tRNA binding site of position 41-44 is GAAC which is characteristic of the plant 5S rRNAs. The sequence similarity percents are 87% (Paramecium/Tetrahymena), 86% (Param...
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...
متن کاملSequence organization within and flanking clusters of 5S ribosomal RNA genes in Tetrahymena.
Macro- and micronuclei of Tetrahymena thermophila each contain approximately 30 clusters of 5S genes per haploid genome. Structural changes in DNA sequences associated with some of these clusters occur during the development of the transcriptionally active macronucleus from the transcriptionally inert micronucleus. Exonuclease digestion indicates that DNA fragmentation is not responsible for th...

An alternative in vitro approach to drug screening has been the use of human cell cultures for antiviral agents and microbial cell cultures for the assessment of the carcinogenic potential of selected compounds. A number of protozoan species have been also used as drug screens for anti-protozoal agents. The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis species has been widely utilised as a dru...
