ENZYMOLOGY

Complete nucleotide sequence of the 23S rRNA gene of the Cyanobacterium, Anacystis nidulans

Received November 30, 1983. Revised March 2, 1984. Accepted March 2, 1984.

The nucleotide sequence of the Anacystis nidulans 23S rRNA gene, including the 5'- and 3'-flanking regions has been determined. The gene is 2876 riucleotides long ann shqws higher primary sequence homology to the 23S rRNAs of plastids (84.5%) than to that of E. coli 79%). The predicted rRNA transcript also shares many secondary structural features with those plastids, reinforcing the endosymbiont hypothesis for the origin of these organelles.
