Abstract
Secondary structure models of 54 5S RNA species are constructed based on the comparative analyses of their primary structure. All 5S RNAs examined have essentially the same secondary structure. However, there are revealing characteristic differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic types. The prokaryotic 5S RNAs may be further classified into two types, one having 120 nucleotides (120-N type) and another having 116 (116-N type). A possible mechanism for the conversion of the prokaryotic 116-N type to the 120-N type 5S RNAs (or vice versa) is discussed on the basis of their nucleotide alignments. Finally, by comparing the nucleotide alignments, we propose a phylogenic tree of the 54 5S RNA species.
