title: The sequence of the ribosomal 16S RNA from Proteus vulgaris. Sequence comparison with E. coli 16S RNA and its use in secondary model building.
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of the 16S RNA from Proteus vulgaris has been determined. The molecule (1544 nucleotides) shows 93% homology with the sequence of E. coli 16S RNA. Six methylated nucleotides have been localized in positions homologous to those observed in the E. coli RNA molecule. Both E. coli and P. vulgaris 16S RNA chains can be folded up into a common secondary structure scheme. Comparative sequence analysis of the two molecules has provided a valuable contribution to 16S RNA secondary structure model building.
