RESUMO

Bacillus stearothermophilus large ribosomal subunits were reconstituted in the presence of 5S rRNAs from different origins and tested for their biological activities. The results obtained have shown that eubacterial and archaebacterial 5S rRNAs can easily substitute for B. stearothermophilus 5S rRNA in the reconstitution, while eukaryotic 5S rRNAs yield ribosomal subunits with reduced biological activities. From our results we propose an interaction between nucleotides 42-47 of 5S rRNA and nucleotides 2603-2608 of 23S rRNA during the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Other experiments with eukaryotic 5.8S rRNAs reveal, if at all, a very low incorporation of these RNA species into the reconstituted ribosomes.
