RESUMO

The nucleotide sequence of 5.8S rRNA from the Chinese silkworm Philosamia cynthia ricini has been determined by gel sequencing and mobility shift methods. The complete primary structure is (sequence in text). This is one of the largest known 5.8S rRNAs. As compared to Bombyx 5.8S rRNA, it is two nucleotides longer; two nucleotides near the 5'end and two nucleotides near the 3'end are different, and psi 61 of the Bombyx RNA sequence is an unmodified U in Philosamia RNA. The secondary structure of Philosamia 5.8S rRNA may differ from the Bombyx RNA structure by three additional base pairs at the 5'/3' ends.
