5' -and 3'-terminal nucleotide sequences of Tetrahymena pyriformis 17S rRNA. 1977

E G Niles

Ribonuclease T1 oligonucleotides arising from the 5' and 3' termini of the 17S rRNA of Tetrahymena pyriformis were isolated by the diagonal method of Dahlberg (Dahlberg, J. E. (1968), Nature (London) 220, 548), and their nucleotide sequences were determined. The base sequence of the 3'-terminal fragment is (G)AUCAUUAoh, which is identical to that found in other 17S-18S eucaryotic rRNA species. The nucleotide sequence of the 5'-terminal oligonucleotide is pAACCUGp, which is identical in length to that found in other eucaryotes and shows a partial but significant sequence homology to the 5' RNase TI oligonucleotides isolated from other eucaryotic species.

D012265 Ribonucleotides Nucleotides in which the purine or pyrimidine base is combined with ribose. (Dorland, 28th ed) Ribonucleoside Phosphates,Ribonucleotide,Phosphates, Ribonucleoside
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.

D013769 Tetrahymena pyriformis A species of ciliate protozoa used extensively in genetic research. Tetrahymena pyriformi,pyriformi, Tetrahymena
