To present the complete nucleotide sequence of a 5 S ribosomal RNA precursor from Bacillus subtilis and explore its structural features.
Characterized the nucleotide sequence of a 179-nucleotide precursor (p5A).
Identified structural features that may interact with the maturation endonuclease RNase M5.
The p5A molecule consists of 116 nucleotides in the mature segment, with 21 at the 5' end and 42 at the 3' terminus.
Identified 2-fold rotational symmetry about cleavage sites and translational symmetry affecting substrate orientation.
