The nucleotide sequence of 5 S ribosomal RNA from Vibrio marinus
1Department of Microbiology, University of Maryland, College Park 20742.
Abstract:
The complete nucleotide base sequence of the 5 S ribosomal RNA from Vibrio marinus MP-1 has been determined and compared with those of other members of the Vibrionaceae for which 5S rRNA sequences are available. Comparisons among 5S rRNA nucleotide base sequences confirm that V. marinus (MP-1) belongs to the family Vibrionaceae, but may represent a new genus. Addition of the V. marinus MP-1 5S rRNA sequence to those already determined, and consideration of all data available to date on 5S rRNA sequences, provides fresh insight into the phylogeny of the Vibrionaceae.

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,...

Ribosome Structure and Assembly
Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotes, rRNA is transcribed from genes in the nucleolus—a part of the nucleus that specializes in ribosome production. Within...
