Abstract:
The nucleotide sequences of genes for the homolog in Coprinus cinereus of the eukaryotic ribosomal protein L41 and for tRNAThr(AGU) are reported. The gene for tRNAThr(AGU) was located upstream of the gene for the L41 ribosomal protein, and these genes were adjacent to each other but in opposite orientations. The deduced amino acid sequence of ribosomal protein L41 exhibited strong homology to those of L41 proteins of several yeasts. The 56th amino acid of the deduced protein was proline, as it is in the L41 protein of a cycloheximide-sensitive strain of yeast. The putative secondary structure of the tRNA gene resembled the characteristic cloverleaf structure of tRNAs. Elements resembling an A-box and a B-box were found in the gene for tRNAThr(AGU). These boxes are known as internal promoter elements in genes for eukaryotic tRNAs.

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
Transfer RNA Synthesis
Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...
