title: Nucleotide sequence of Lactobacillus viridescens 5S RNA.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of Lactobacillus viridescens ATCC 12706 5S RNA was determined to be pU-G-U-U-G-U-G-A-U-G-A-U-G-G-C-A-U-U-G-A-G-G-U-C-A-C-A-C C-U-G-U-U-C-C-C-A-U-A-C-C-G-A-A-C-A-C-A-G-A-A-G-U-U-A-A-G-C-U-C-A-A-U-A-G-C-G C-C-G-A-A-A-G-U-A-G-U-U-G-G-A-G-G-A-U-C-U-C-U-U-C-C-U-G-C-G-A-G-G-A-U-A-G-G-A C-G-U-C-G-C-A-A-U-G-COH. When compared with other published sequences of prokaryotic 5S RNA species, this sequence shows as much homology with that from B. substilis (80% homology when all variations included) and B. megaterium (77% homology) as with the 5S RNA from another member of Lactobacillaceae family (L. brevis, 79% homology). The sequence contains the proposed tRNA binding site (CGAAC, positions 41-45) and can accomodate most, but not all, of the more recently proposed helical regions of secondary structure.
