Abstract:
Protein S8 from Thermus thermophilus consists of 138 amino acids of M(r) 15,840. Its primary structure was established using peptide sequences from two different digests. Protein S8 from T. thermophilus shares a high percentage of identity with protein S8 from Thermus aquaticus. There are some consensus sequences between proteins S8 from eubacteria, archebacteria, chloroplasts, and cyanelles.

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,...
