Microheterogeneity in Aspergillus nidulans 5S rRNA genes

Curr Genet. 1987;11(6-7):571-3. doi: 10.1007/BF00384621.

Abstract

We have determined the sequence of 4 Aspergillus nidulans 5S rRNA genes and compared it with 4 previously established sequences. No extensive homologies are found in 5' flanking sequences, but in the 3' flanks of two genes and two pseudogenes similar sequences are observed. In the coding sequences differences occur in 7 positions. Two 5S rRNA genes which are found in one plasmid 1.1 kb apart are located in opposite orientations.
