Abstract:
:Fox and Woese (1975a) have shown that a model of 5S RNA secondary structure similar to the one originally derived for Chlorella 5S RNA can be generalized with relatively minor variations to all sequenced 5S RNA molecules, i.e. that corresponding base paired regions can be formed at approximately the same positions. We present experimental data in favour of this hypothesis and show that the points at which ribonucleases T1, T2 and pancreatic ribonuclease cleave six different 5S RNA molecules under 'mild' conditions (high ionic strength, low temperature, low RNAase concentration) nearly always fall in the proposed single-stranded regions. We conclude that this model is a good approximation to the conformation of 5S RNA in solution.
