The structure of the yeast ribosomal RNA genes. 4. Complete sequence of the 25 S rRNA gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the 25 5 rRNA gene from one rDNA repeating unit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. The corresponding 25 S rRNA molecule contains 3392 nucleotides,and has an estimated relative molecular mass ( M r , Na-salt) of 1.17 × 10 6 . Striking sequence homology is observed with known 5 - and 3 -end terminal segments of L-rRNA from other eukaryotes. Possible models of interaction with 5.8 S rRNA are discussed.
