The four ribosomal RNA (rrn) operons rrnA, rrnB, rrnC and were identified, sequenced completely and characterized individually rrnD in the whole genome of A tumefaciens MAFF301001. These rrn operons were located in the two topologically different chromosomal DNAs; rrnA and rrnD in the linear chromosome and rrnB and rrnC in the circular chromosome. Each operon coded for three ribosomal RNA subunit genes; 16S, 23S and 5S rRNA. The 16S-23S internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the four rrn operons contain genes for tRNA-Ile and tRNA-Ala and tRNA-Met downstream of 5S rDNA gene while the intergenic spacer between 23S rDNA and 5S rDNA lacked tRNA genes. Sequence alignment of 23S rRNAs of A. tumefaciens MAFF301001 and C58 strains showed unrelated sequences near the 5' end region suggesting the presence of intervening sequence (IVS). Primer extension analyses revealed that the primary transcription products for 16S and 23S rRNAs are 1497 and 2877 bases long, respectively.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009876 Operon In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION. Operons
D001483 Base Sequence The sequence of PURINES and PYRIMIDINES in nucleic acids and polynucleotides. It is also called nucleotide sequence. DNA Sequence,Nucleotide Sequence,RNA Sequence,DNA Sequences,Base Sequences,Nucleotide Sequences,RNA Sequences,Sequence, Base,Sequence, DNA,Sequence, Nucleotide,Sequence, RNA,Sequences, Base,Sequences, DNA,Sequences, Nucleotide,Sequences, RNA
D012335 RNA, Ribosomal The most abundant form of RNA. Together with proteins, it forms the ribosomes, playing a structural role and also a role in ribosomal binding of mRNA and tRNAs. Individual chains are conventionally designated by their sedimentation coefficients. In eukaryotes, four large chains exist, synthesized in the nucleolus and constituting about 50% of the ribosome. (Dorland, 28th ed) Ribosomal RNA,15S RNA,RNA, 15S
D012343 RNA, Transfer The small RNA molecules, 73-80 nucleotides long, that function during translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) to align AMINO ACIDS at the RIBOSOMES in a sequence determined by the mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER). There are about 30 different transfer RNAs. Each recognizes a specific CODON set on the mRNA through its own ANTICODON and as aminoacyl tRNAs (RNA, TRANSFER, AMINO ACYL), each carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome to add to the elongating peptide chains.

D012689 Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid The sequential correspondence of nucleotides in one nucleic acid molecule with those of another nucleic acid molecule. Sequence homology is an indication of the genetic relatedness of different organisms and gene function.

D016960 Agrobacterium tumefaciens A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria isolated from soil and the stems, leafs, and roots of plants. Some biotypes are pathogenic and cause the formation of PLANT TUMORS in a wide variety of higher plants. The species is a major research tool in biotechnology.
