Additional Nucleotide Sequences in Precursor 16S Ribosomal RNA from Escherichia coli

Nature New Biology volume 232, pages 54–55 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

MATURE 5S, 16S, and 23S ribosomal RNA species present in E. coli ribosomes are the end products of complex biosyn-thetic pathways. They are formed by reduction in length, and methylation of longer RNA chains transcribed on the ribosomal RNA cistrons of E. coli DNA. While these modifications take place the ribosome structure is formed by progressive addition of ribosomal proteins and conformational changes in the resulting ribonucleoprotein precursor particles1.
