The longest 18S ribosomal RNA ever known: Nucleotide sequence and presumed secondary structure of the 18S rRNA of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum
1991
Kwon, O.Y. | Ogino, K. | Ishikawa, H.
An EMBL4 recombinant phage which encodes one of the full length of the aphid ribosomal DNA has been isolated from the aphid genomic library. Determination of the complete nucleotide sequence of the aphid 18S rRNA gene revealed that it is 2469 bp with a G + C content of 59%. The aphid 18S rRNA gene studied here is the longest and has the highest G + C content among the 18S rRNA genes examined so far. Evidence provided by the S1 nuclease assay suggests that the aphid 18S rRNA gene examined in this study is not a pseudogene containing an insertion sequence. Based on the nucleotide sequence of the 18S rRNA gene, we constructed a presumed secondary-structure model of the aphid 18S rRNA. In the aphid 18S rRNA, the eucaryote-specific E21 and 41 region are supposed to be longer and more complex than the counterparts of other 18S rRNA.
