Abstract:
The 5S rRNA genes in Macaca fascicularis are organized in tandem repeats which are unusually large and complex. The tandem repeats consist of a 7.3 kb DNA fragment with two 5S rRNA genes linked to a 4.3 kb fragment with one gene. The total number of genes in the repeats is 50-100 per haploid genome. The 5S rDNA has an external promoter, the D box, in the same position relative to transcription start as the human gene but is transcribed less efficiently than a human 5S rRNA gene in a HeLa cell extract.

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,...
