Transcription of tomato ribosomal DNA and the organization of the intergenic spacer
Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1990The organization of the intergenic spacer of a 9.04 kb tomato ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) was determined. The 3258 bp spacer contains two major repeat elements enclosing a region which includes 351 bp of an 81.8% A --T rich sequence. A block of nine 53 bp repeats begins 388 bp downstream from the 3' end of the 25S rRNA.

Nucleotide sequence of the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the tomato ribosomal DNA
Plant Molecular Biology, 1989The intergenic spacer (IGS) of the ribosomal DNA spans the region from the 3' end of the 25S rRNA gene to the 5' end of the 18S rRNA gene. Here we report the sequence of the IGS of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

Identification of variability of ribosomal DNA spacer from Pseudomonas soil isolates
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1994The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the spacer region located between the 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA genes of strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida isolated from peat bog, canola field, or arctic plants. Some of these amplified spacer regions were used to probe Southern blots of total DNA digests from the various ...

Functional analysis of internal transcribed spacer 2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomal DNA
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1992Using the previously described "tagged ribosome" (pORCS) system for in vivo mutational analysis of yeast rDNA, we show that small deletions in the 5'-terminal portion of ITS2 completely block maturation of 26 S rRNA at the level of the 29 SB precursor (5.8 S rRNA-ITS2-26 S rRNA). Various deletions in the 3'-terminal part, although severely reducing the

Tobacco ribosomal DNA spacer element stimulates amplification and expression of heterologous genes
Nature Biotechnology, 2000Here we show that the cis-acting genetic element aps (amplification-promoting sequence), isolated from the nontranscribed spacer region of tobacco ribosomal DNA (rDNA), increases the level of expression of recombinant proteins. Transgenic tobacco plants, transformed with expression cassettes containing the herbicide-resistant acetolactate synthase (hr ...

Genotyping of Trichophyton rubrum by analysis of ribosomal-DNA intergenic spacer regions
Mycopathologia, 2007An attempt was made to explore the genotyping of Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) and the relationship between genotype and geographical origin using ribosomal restriction endonuclease polymorphic analysis. The total DNA was extracted by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The probe was amplified from part of the 18S, ITSI, 5.8S, and ITSII region of

Fourteen internal transcribed spacers in the circular ribosomal DNA of Euglena gracilis
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1990Cytoplasmic ribosomes from Euglena gracilis contain 16 rRNA components. These include the typical 5 S, 5.8 S and 19 S rRNAs that are found in other eukaryotes as well as 13 discrete small RNAs that interact to form the equivalent of eukaryotic 25-28 S rRNA (accompanying paper).

Typing truffle species by PCR amplification of the ribosomal DNA spacers
Mycological Research, 1994Variation within the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the ribosomal RNA genes of European species of Tuber was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and coupled restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.

Polyploidy and Ribosomal-DNA Spacer Variability in Poa labillardieri
Australian Journal of Botany, 1991With changing agricultural practices, poa tussock (Poa labillardieri Steud.) has become a serious weed of Australian tableland pastures. To determine whether there are any genetic differences within the species that might have a bearing on this problem, accessions of P.

Is higher-order structure conserved in eukaryotic ribosomal DNA intergenic spacers?
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1992Computer-based structural analysis of the ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer (IGS) from the mosquito Aedes albopictus revealed a potential to form strong and extensive secondary structures throughout a 4.7-kilobase (kb) region. The predicted stability of secondary structures was particularly high within a 3.15-kb region containing 17 tandem 201 base-pair ...
