Intermolecular mRNA-rRNA hybridization and the distribution of potential interaction regions in murine 18S rRNA.

چکیده
Intermolecular hybridization experiments show that murine 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA are capable of forming stable hybrid structures with mRNA from genes p53, c-myc and c-mos from the same species. Both 5'-uncoding and coding oncogene p53 mRNA regions contain fragments interacting with rRNA. Computer analysis revealed 18S rRNA fragments complementary to oligonucleotides frequently met in mRNA, which are potential hybridization regions (clinger-fragments). The distribution of clinger-fragments along 18S rRNA sequence is universal at least for one hundred murine mRNA sequences analyzed. Maximal frequencies of oligonucleotides complementary to 18S rRNA clinger-fragments are reliably (2-3 times) higher for mRNA than for intron sequences and randomly generated sequences. The results obtained suggest a possible role of clinger-fragments in translation processes as universal regions of mRNA binding.

A low-molecular-weight RNA from mouse ascites cells that hybridizes to both 18S rRNA and mRNA sequences.
A low-molecular-weight RNA species from mouse ascites cells has been selected and purified by its intermolecular RNA X RNA hybridization capabilities. This 4.5S RNA is able to base pair with poly(A)+ mRNA sequences and with 18S rRNA. Melting experiments have shown that the intermolecular hybrids formed with this complementary low-molecular-weight RNA are of comparable stability to other RNA X R...
متن کاملHomologous genes for mouse 4.5S hybRNA are found in all eukaryotes and their low molecular weight RNA transcripts intermolecularly hybridize with eukaryotic 18S ribosomal RNAs
Previous work has reported the isolation and sequencing of a mouse low molecular weight RNA species designated 4.5S hybridizing RNA or hybRNA because of its ability to intermolecularly hybridize with mouse mRNA and 18S rRNA sequences. Using synthetic DNA oligonucleotide probes we have examined the conservation of this gene sequence and its expression as a lmwRNA transcript across evolution. Sou...
متن کاملThe Expansion Segments of 28S Ribosomal RNA Extensively Match Human Messenger RNAs
Eukaryote ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) have expanded in the course of phylogeny by addition of nucleotides in specific insertion areas, the expansion segments. These number about 40 in the larger (25-28S) rRNA (up to 2,400 nucleotides), and about 12 in the smaller (18S) rRNA (<700 nucleotides). Expansion of the larger rRNA shows a clear phylogenetic increase, with a dramatic rise in mammals and espec...
متن کاملComplementarity of sequences in low molecular weight RNAs to regions of messenger and ribosomal RNAs.
Total low molecular weight nuclear RNAs of mouse ascites cells have been labeled in vitro and used as probes to search for complementary sequences contained in nuclear or cytoplasmic RNA. From a subset of hybridizing lmw RNAs, two major species of 58,000 and 35,000 mol. wt. have been identified as mouse 5 and 5.8S ribosomal RNA. Mouse 5 and 5.8S rRNA hybridize not only to 18 and 28S rRNA, respe...
متن کاملA comparative phylogenetic analysis of Theileria spp. by using two two "18S ribosomal RNA" and "Theileria annulata merozoite surface antigen" gene sequences
More than 185 species, strains and unclassified Theileria parasites are categorized in the Entrez Taxonomy. The accurate diagnosis and proper identification of the causative agents are important for understanding the epidemiology, prevention and appropriate treatment. This study aims to discuss the importance of two genes of Theileria annulata 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) and Theileria annulata...
