title: The nucleotide sequence of 5S rRNA from an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus HB8.
abstract: Using 3'- and 5'-end labelling sequencing techniques, the following primary structure for Thermusthermophilus HB8 5S RNA could be determined: pAA (U) CCCCCGUGCCCAUAGCGGCGUGGAACCACCCGUUCCCAUUCCGAACACGGAAGUGAAACGCGCCAGCGCC GAUGGUACUGGCGGACGACCGCUGGGAGAGUAGGUCGGUGCGGGGGA (OH). This sequence is most similar to Thermusaquaticus 5S RNA with which it shows 85% homology.
