Abstract
Recently we have proposed a new three-dimensional model of plant 5S rRNAs structure To verify this proposal we present here new data on RNase T1 digestion and hydroxyl radical hydrolysis of lupin and wheat germ 5S rRNAs at various buffer and temperature conditions Interestingly, the guanosine residues 85-87 in the loop D of these RNAs, are resistant to RNase T1 at native but not at denaturating conditions On the other hand, the reaction of 5S rRNA with the hydroxyl radicals showed different reactivity of many nucleotides in various parts of the molecule and suggest conformational changes, which occur mostly in the loops The experimental data clearly support involvement of the nucleotides occupying conserved positions in the loops in the tertiary interactions in plant 5S rRNA structure
