Nucleotide sequences of chloroplast 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid in flowering plants.

ABSTRACT: Evidence for the sequence of duckweed (Lemna minor) chloroplast 5S rRNA was derived from the analysis of partial and complete enzymic digests of the 32P-labelled molecule. The possible sequence of the chloroplast 5S rRNA from three other flowering plants was deduced by complete digestion with T1 ribonuclease and comparison of the sequences of the oligonucleotide products with homologous sequences in the duckweed 5S rRNA. This analysis indicates that the chloroplast 5S rNA species differ appreciably from their cytosol counterparts but bear a strong resemblance to one another and to the 5S rRNA species of prokaryotes. Structural features apparently common to all 5S rRNA molecules are also discussed.

Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cytoplasmic 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid from five species of flowering plants.

Project description:Broad-bean 5S rRNA labelled with (32)P was digested separately with T(1) and pancreatic A ribonucleases and the resulting oligonucleotides (20 and 18 respectively) were fractionated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The oligonucleotides were analysed further and 32 of them have been completely sequenced. They were compared with those of 5S rRNA from dwarf bean, sunflower, tomato and rye. Sequence differences were found at both the 3'- and 5'-termini and at up to nine other positions. Most base substitutions were transitions between C and U. In common with other 5S rRNA species that have been analysed the ends of the molecule in each plant species have complementary sequences.

Characterization of cytoplasmic and chloroplast 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid from broad-bean leaves.

Project description:Green leaves of the broad bean (Vicia faba) contain two 5S RNA components that can be separated from each other by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The major component is located in the larger subunit of cytoplasmic ribosomes, whereas the minor component occurs in the larger subunit of chloroplast ribosomes. Their electrophoretic mobilities relative to those of Escherichia coli 5S RNA (120 nucleotides) and plant 4S RNA (78 nucleotides) suggest that they consist of 118 and 122 nucleotide residues respectively. Thermal ;melting' profiles of plant cytoplasmic and chloroplast 5S RNA species at 260nm indicate the similarity of their secondary structures, not only to each other, but also to those of E. coli and mammalian 5S RNA species. The base compositions of the two plant 5S RNA species have more in common with each other than with the corresponding molecules from either E. coli or mammalian cells.

Molecular integrity of chloroplast ribosomal ribonucleic acid.

Project description:The majority of chloroplast 1.1x10(6)-mol.wt. rRNA molecules are nicked at specific points in the polynucleotide chain, the molecules being kept intact at low temperatures by their secondary structure. Conditions that break hydrogen bonds and lead to loss of secondary structure cause dissociation of the molecule.

The molecular integrity of chloroplast ribosomal ribonucleic acid.

Project description:Instability of chloroplast rRNA has been observed with essentially all chloroplast RNA preparations. This paper describes experiments that show that, under normal conditions of preparation and fractionation, only the heavy chloroplast component (mol.wt. 1.1x10(6)) is unstable, the light chloroplast rRNA (mol.wt. 0.56x10(6)) and the cytoplasmic rRNA species (mol.wt. 1.3x10(6) and 0.70x10(6)) being stable. The stability of the 1.1x10(6)-mol. wt. molecule varies with different plant species, as also does the size and the number of fragments produced. Cleavages in three particular regions of the molecule are very frequent within the range of tissues studied. The 1.1x10(6)-mol.wt. rRNA is, however, stabilized by the presence of Mg(2+) during the preparation and fractionation of the RNA.

Higher-plant mitochondrial ribosomes contain a 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid component.

Project description:Ribosomes from higher-plant mitochondria contain 5S rRNA, in contrast with the mitochondrial ribosomes of animals and fungi, in which such a component has not been detected. In common with the ribosomes of prokaryotes and chloroplasts, higher-plant mitochondrial ribosomes do not appear to contain an RNA equivalent to the 5.8 S rRNA that is found in eukaryoytes hydrogen-bonded to the largest of the cytoplasmic rRNA species.

Chloroplast ribosomal ribonucleic acid synthesis in cultured spinach leaf tissue.

Project description:Chloroplast rRNA synthesis was studied in spinach leaf tissue cultured under sterile conditions which eliminate bacterial rRNA synthesis. The synthesis was inhibited by darkness, but concomitant cytoplasmic rRNA synthesis was unaffected. A complex pattern of labelled rRNA precursors was found in extracts from cultured leaf tissue by using polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. However, differences between the precursor profiles of leaf tissue cultured in the light and in the dark could not be correlated with chloroplast rRNA synthesis since large amounts of high-molecular-weight precursors of cytoplasmic rRNA dominated the pattern in both cases. A double-isotope-labelling technique was used, which enabled light-stimulated rRNA synthesis to be studied in whole leaf tissue. Two rapidly labelled RNA species of molecular weights 1.15x10(6) and 0.65x10(6) were detected, which were thought to have possible precursor significance in the synthesis of mature chloroplast rRNA of molecular weights 1.04x10(6) and 0.56x10(6) respectively. Cycloheximide treatment resulted in the accumulation of RNA of molecular weight 1.8x10(6), whose function is unknown.

NCResNet: Noncoding Ribonucleic Acid Prediction Based on a Deep Resident Network of Ribonucleic Acid Sequences.

Project description:Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is a kind of RNA that plays an important role in many biological processes, diseases, and cancers, while cannot translate into proteins. With the development of next-generation sequence technology, thousands of novel RNAs with long open reading frames (ORFs, longest ORF length > 303 nt) and short ORFs (longest ORF length ? 303 nt) have been discovered in a short time. How to identify ncRNAs more precisely from novel unannotated RNAs is an important step for RNA functional analysis, RNA regulation, etc. However, most previous methods only utilize the information of sequence features. Meanwhile, most of them have focused on long-ORF RNA sequences, but not adapted to short-ORF RNA sequences. In this paper, we propose a new reliable method called NCResNet. NCResNet employs 57 hybrid features of four categories as inputs, including sequence, protein, RNA structure, and RNA physicochemical properties, and introduces feature enhancement and deep feature learning policies in a neural net model to adapt to this problem. The experiments on benchmark datasets of 8 species shows NCResNet has higher accuracy and higher Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) compared with other state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, on four short-ORF RNA sequence datasets, specifically mouse, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, zebrafish, and cow, NCResNet achieves greater than 10 and 15% improvements over other state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and MCC. Meanwhile, for long-ORF RNA sequence datasets, NCResNet also has better accuracy and MCC than other state-of-the-art methods on most test datasets.

4.5S ribonucleic acid, a novel ribosome component in the chloroplasts of flowering plants.

Project description:A species of low-molecular-weight ribosomal RNA, referred to as '4.5S rRNA', was found in addition to 5S rRNA in the large subunit of chloroplast ribosomes of a wide range of flowering plants. It was shown by sequence analysis that several variants of this RNA may occur in a plant. Furthermore, although in most flowering plants the predominant variant contains about 100 nucleotides, in the broad bean it has less than 80. It seems, therefore, to be much more diverse in size and sequence than the other ribosomal RNA species. Like 5S rRNA , it does not contain modified nucleotides and it is also unusual in having an unphosphorylated 5'-end. It is apparently neither a homologue of cytosol 5.8S rRNA nor a fragment of 23S rRNA.

Unveiling cryptic species diversity of flowering plants: successful biological species identification of Asian Mitella using nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Although DNA sequence analysis is becoming a powerful tool for identifying species, it is not easy to assess whether the observed genetic disparity corresponds to reproductive isolation. Here, we compared the efficiency of biological species identification between nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast DNA sequences, focusing on an Asian endemic perennial lineage of Mitella (Asimitellaria; Saxifragaceae). We performed artificial cross experiments for 43 pairs of ten taxonomic species, and examined their F1 hybrid pollen fertility in vitro as a quantitative measure of postzygotic reproductive isolation. RESULTS: A nonlinear, multiple regression analysis indicated that the nuclear ribosomal DNA distances are sufficient to explain the observed pattern of F1 hybrid pollen fertility, and supplementation with chloroplast DNA distance data does not improve the explanatory power. Overall, with the exception of a recently diverged species complex with more than three biological species, nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences successfully circumscribed ten distinct biological species, of which two have not been described (and an additional one has not been regarded as a distinct taxonomic species) to date. CONCLUSION: We propose that nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences contribute to reliable identification of reproductively isolated and cryptic species of Mitella. More comparable studies for other plant groups are needed to generalize our findings to flowering plants.

Extensive homologies between the methylated nucleotide sequences in several vertebrate ribosomal ribonucleic acids.

Project description:The methylated nucleotide sequences in the rRNA molecules of the following vertebrate cultured cells were compared: human (HeLa); hamster (BHK/C13); mouse (L); chick-embryo fibroblast; Xenopus laevis kidney. In each species the combined 18S, 28S and 5.8S molecules possess approx. 110-115 methyl groups, and the methylated oligonucleotides released after complete digestion of the rRNA by T1 ribonuclease encompass several hundred nucleotides. "Fingerprints" of the three mammalian methyl-labelled 18S rRNA species were qualitatively indistinguishable. "Fingerprints" of digests of 28S rRNA of hamster and mouse L-cells were extremely similar to those of HeLa cells, differing in one and three methylated oligonucleotides respectively. "Fingerprints" of methyl-labelled rRNA from chick and Xenopus strongly resembled those of mammals in most respects, but differed in several oligonucleotides in both 18S and 28S rRNA. At least some of the differences between "fingerprints" appear to be due to single base changes or to the presence or absence of methyl groups at particular points in the primary sequence. The findings strongly suggest that the methylated-nucleotide sequences are at least 95% homologous between the rRNA molecules of the two most distantly related vertebrates compared, man and Xenopus laevis.
