RESUMO
Recently published alignments of available 5 S rRNA sequences have shown that a rigid base pairing pattern, pointing to the existence of a universal five-helix secondary structure for all 5 S RNAs, can be superimposed on such alignments. For a few species, the alignment and the base pairing pattern show distortions with respect to the large majority of sequences. Their 5 S RNAs may form exceptional secondary structures, or there may just be errors in the published sequences. We have examined such a case, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and found the sequence to be in error. The corrected sequence, as well as those of the related species Azotobacter vinelandii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fit perfectly in the 5 S RNA sequence alignment and in the five-helix secondary structure model. There exists comparative evidence for the frequent presence of non-standard base pairs at several points of the 5 S RNA secondary structure.
