Abstract:
:The somatic 5S DNA from X. borealis (Xbs 5S DNA) and X. laevis (Xis 5S DNA) and a minor oocyte-specific 5S DNA from X. laevis (Xit 5S DNA) have been purified, and individual repeating units have been cloned and sequenced. The two somatic 5S DNAs differ from the major oocyte 5S DNAs in having GC-rich spacers, homogeneous repeat lengths and no "pseudogenes." The somatic 5S DNAs from the two species have similar spacer sequences with differences due to single base changes and insertions/deletions. The spacer of the minor oocyte-specific 5S DNA (Xit) has the AT-rich sequence characteristic of the major oocyte 5S DNAs from X. laevis and X. borealis, and contains one duplication that has diverged approximately 40%. Like the somatic 5S DNAs, Xit 5S DNA has a homogeneous length repeat and a unique nucleotide sequence in its spacer. The presence of variable-length spacer regions in a multigene family correlates with variables numbers of a simple sequence in the spacer regions.
