Abstract
The amyR1 locus controls the regulated transcription of amyE, the structural gene encoding alpha-amylase in Bacillus subtilis. Transcription of amyE is activated in early stationary phase cells, and can be repressed by rapidly metabolized carbon sources such as glucose. Transcription of amyE initiates in vitro from a promoter recognized by the major vegetative form of RNA polymerase, E sigma 43. S1 nuclease mapping of in-vivo amylase transcripts suggests that this promoter is also used in vivo. Two independently isolated cis-acting mutations, gra-5 and gra-10, which abolish glucose-mediated repression of amylase synthesis without altering temporal activation, were determined by DNA sequencing to result from a G.C to A.T transition at a position located five base-pairs downstream from the start site of transcription. While this is the first example of a site involved in catabolite repression of gene expression in a Gram-positive micro-organism, the region surrounding the gra mutations shows considerable homology to certain cis-acting regulatory loci in Escherichia coli, suggesting that such sequences have been evolutionarily conserved.

Abstract
Three families of the evolutionarily related pathogenic determinants in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae O1, a family of cholera enterotoxin (CT) and heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) including CT, LTh, and LTp, a family of heat-stable enterotoxin I (STI) including STIa and STIb, and a family of K88 enteroadhesion fimbriae including K88ab, K88ac, and K88ad were analyzed for synonymous (silent) nucleotide substitutions by using the gene nucleotide sequences of earlier reports and the LTp gene nucleotide sequence presented in this paper. The data suggested that the divergences between LT and CT and between STIa and STIb occurred in the remote past, whereas those between LTh and LTp and between members of the K88 family occurred very recently. We concluded that the LT gene is a foreign gene that has been acquired by E. coli to form an enteropathogen. This provides evolutionary evidence of species-to-species transfer of pathogenic determinants in procaryotes.

Abstract
The amide group of glutamine is a source of nitrogen in the biosynthesis of a variety of compounds. These reactions are catalyzed by a group of enzymes known as glutamine amidotransferases; two of these, the glutamine amidotransferase subunits of p-aminobenzoate synthase and anthranilate synthase have been studied in detail and have been shown to be structurally and functionally related. In some micro-organisms, p-aminobenzoate synthase and anthranilate synthase share a common glutamine amidotransferase subunit. We report here the primary DNA and deduced amino acid sequences of the p-aminobenzoate synthase glutamine amidotransferase subunits from Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella aerogenes and Serratia marcescens. A comparison of these glutamine amidotransferase sequences to the sequences of ten others, including some that function specifically in either the p-aminobenzoate synthase or anthranilate synthase complexes and some that are shared by both synthase complexes, has revealed several interesting features of the structure and organization of these genes, and has allowed us to speculate as to the evolutionary history of this family of enzymes. We propose a model for the evolution of the p-aminobenzoate synthase and anthranilate synthase glutamine amidotransferase subunits in which the duplication and subsequent divergence of the genetic information encoding a shared glutamine amidotransferase subunit led to the evolution of two new pathway-specific enzymes.

Abstract
Nucleotide sequences of 5S rRNAs from four bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus Smith (diffuse), Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990, Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341 and Micrococcus luteus ATCC 4698, were determined. The secondary structural models of S. aureus and S. epidermidis sequences showed characteristics of the gram-positive bacterial 5S rRNA (116-N type [H. Hori and S. Osawa, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 76:381-385, 1979]). Those of M. luteus ATCC 9341 and M. luteus ATCC 4698 together with that of Streptomyces griseus (A. Simoncsits, Nucleic Acids Res. 8:4111-4124, 1980) showed intermediary characteristics between the gram-positive and gram-negative (120-N type [H. Hori and S. Osawa, 1979]) 5S rRNAs. This and previous studies revealed that there exist at least three major groups of eubacteria having distinct 5S rRNA and belonging to different stems in the 5S rRNA phylogenic tree.

The nucleotide sequences of chloroplast 5S rRNAs from cell suspension cultures of the liverworts Marchantia polymorpha and Jungermannia subulata were determined. Their nucleotide sequences, 119 nucleotides long, were highly homologous to each other (96% identity) and had high homology with those from chloroplast 5S rRNAs of two higher plants, tobacco (92% identity) and spinach (92-91% identity), but less homology (87-85% identity) with that from a lower plant, the fern Dryopteris acuminata.

Abstract
A modification of Nussinov's algorithm (1) for (planar) secondary structure generation is described. Our algorithm postpones decisions on matches involving destabiling loops until they prove to be energetically more favourable than more local matches. We present, moreover, an alternative way of representing secondary structures which avoids unwarranted suggestions on higher order neighbourhood, can be automated easily, allows for any amount of annotation of the sequences, makes comparison of alternate foldings easy and is pleasing to the eye. 5S RNA sequences are used to illustrate the methods.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequences of 5S rRNAs from three protozoa, Bresslaua vorax, Euplotes woodruffi and Chlamydomonas sp. have been determined and aligned together with the sequences of 12 protozoa species including unicellular green algae already reported by the authors and others. Using this alignment, a phylogenic tree of the 15 species of protozoa has been constructed. The tree suggests that the ancestor for protozoa evolved at an early time of eukaryotic evolution giving two major groups of organisms. One group, which shares a common ancestor with vascular plants, contains a unicellular green flagellate (Chlamydomonas) and unicellular green algae. The other group, which shares a common ancestor with the multicellular animals, includes various flagellated protozoa (including Euglena), ciliated protozoa and slime molds. Most of these protozoa appear to have separated from one another at a fairly early period of eukaryotic evolution.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequences of the 5 S ribosomal RNAs of the mushrooms Russula cyanoxantha, Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus edulis, and Auricularia auricula-judae were determined. The sequences fit in a universal five-helix secondary structure model for 5 S RNA. As in most other 5 S RNAs, some helical areas contain non-standard base pairs. A clustering method was used to reconstruct an evolutionary tree from 82 eukaryotic 5 S RNA sequences. It allows to make a choice between alternative systematic classifications for basidiomycetes and reveals that the fungal kingdom is highly polyphyletic.

Abstract
The collection of known 5 S rRNA primary structures is enriched with the sequences from three mollusca, the snails Helix pomatia and Arion rufus, and the mussel Mytilus edulis. The three sequences can be fitted in a five-helix secondary structure model previously shown (De Wachter et al. (1982) Biochimie 64, 311-329) to apply to all 5 S RNAs regardless of their origin. One of the helices in this model can undergo a bulge-internal loop transition. Within the metazoan kingdom, the dimensions of each helix and loop are rigidly conserved, except for one helix which can comprise either 6 or 7 base pairs.

Abstract
The most commonly accepted secondary structure models for 5S RNA differ for molecules of eubacterial origin, where the four-helix model of Fox and Woese is generally cited, and those of eukaryotic origin, where a fifth helix is assumed to exist. We have carefully aligned all available sequences from eukaryotes, eubacteria, chloroplasts, archaebacteria and plant mitochondria. We could thus derive a unified secondary structure model applicable to all 5S RNA sequences known to-date. It contains the five helices already present in the eukaryotic model, extended by additional segments that were not previously assumed to be universally present. One of the helices can be written in two equilibrium forms, which could reflect the existence of a flexible, dynamic structure. For the derivation of the model and the estimation of the free energies we followed a set of rules optimized to predict the tRNA cloverleaf. The stability of the unified model is higher than that of nearly all previously proposed sequence-specific and general models.

The 5S rRNAs from Bombyx mori and Dictyostelium discoideum were end-labeled with [32-P] at either the 5' or 3' end and sequenced using enzymatic digestion. The secondary structure of these molecules was studied using the single-strand specific S1 nuclease and the base-pair specific cobra venom ribonuclease. Computer analysis of these results was performed and was used to generate a consensus secondary structure for each molecule. A comparison of these results with those of other workers is presented.

Abstract
Küntzel et al. (1981) (Nucleic Acids Res. 9, 1451-1461) recently concluded that the sequence of wheat mitochondrial 5S rRNA is significantly more related to prokaryotic than to eukaryotic 5S rRNA sequences, and displays an especially high affinity to that of the thermophilic Gram-negative bacterium, Thermus aquaticus. However, the sequence on which this conclusion was based, although attributed to us, differs in several places from the one determined by us. We show here that the correct sequence (Spencer, D.F., Bonen, L. and Gray, M.W. (1981) Biochemistry, in press) does not support the conclusions of Küntzel et al. about potential secondary structure in wheat mitochondrial 5S rRNA and its phylogenetic significance. We further show that when the wheat mitochondrial 5S rRNA sequence is matched against published alignments for E. coli, T. aquaticus, and wheat cytosol 5S rRNAs, the mitochondrial sequence shows no greater homology to the T. aquaticus sequence than to the E. coli sequence, and only slightly more homology to these two sequences than to wheat cytosol 5S rRNA. This analysis confirms our original view (Biochemistry, in press) that wheat mitochondrial 5S rRNA is neither obviously prokaryotic nor eukaryotic in nature, but shows characteristics of both classes of 5S rRNA, as well as some unique features.

Abstract
Using the procedures of Donis-Keller et al. [Donis-Keller, H., Maxam, A. M., & Gilbert, W. (1977) Nucleic Acids Res. 4, 2527--2538 (1977)] and Peattie [Peattie, D. A. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 76, 1760--1764], we have determined the nucleotide sequence of wheat mitochondrial 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA). This sequence [Formula: see text] is the first to be reported for a plant mitochondrial RNA. A highly conserved region (underlined) readily identifies the molecule as a structural homologue of other 5S rRNAs, as do potential base-paired regions which are characteristic of all known (prokaryotic, chloroplast, eukaryotic cytosol) 5S rRNA sequences. However, when assessed in terms of those structural features which distinguish prokaryotic from eukaryotic 5S rRNAs, wheat mitochondrial 5S rRNA cannot be classified readily as one or the other but instead displays characteristics of both types. In addition, the mitochondrial 5S rRNA has several unusual features, including (i) a variable number (two to three) of A residues at both the 5' and 3' ends, (ii) a unique sequence (CGACC, italic) in place of the prokaryotic sequence (CGAAC) which has been postulated to interact with aminoacyl-tRNA during translation, and (iii) a novel sequence, AUAUAUAU, immediately following the highly conserved sequence. In terms of overall primary sequence, wheat mitochondrial and cytosol 5S rRNAs seem to be slightly more divergent from each other than either is from Escherichia coli 5S rRNA, with which they are about equally homologous. From these observations, we propose that wheat mitochondrial 5S rRNA represents a distinct class of 5S rRNA. Our observations raise a number of questions about the evolutionary origin and functional role(s) of plant mitochondrial 5S rRNA.

Abstract
Somatic and oocyte 5S rRNAs from the liver and unfertilized eggs of the loach (Misgurnus fossilis have been sequenced and found to differ in six nucleotides. All the substitutions are confined to the 5'-half of the molecules; 4 of them are pyrimidine-pyrimidine substitutions, and 2 are purine-pyrimidine ones. Considerable differences, both in the position and the character of substitutions, have been established when these 5S rRNAs were compared with somatic and oocyte 5S rRNAs from Xenopus borealis and Xenopus laevis. Among the known primary structures, somatic 5S rRNA of M. fossilis is most similar to trout 5S rRNA.

Abstract
A general secondary structure is proposed for the 5S RNA of prokaryotic ribosomes, based on helical energy filtering calculations. We have considered all secondary structures that are common to 17 different prokaryotic 5S RNAs and for each 5S sequence calculated the (global) minimum energy secondary structure (300,000 common structures are possible for each sequence). The 17 different minimum energy secondary structures all correspond, with minor differences, to a single, secondary structure model. This is strong evidence that this general 5S folding pattern corresponds to the secondary structure of the functional 5S rRNA. The general 5S secondary structure is forked and in analogy with the cloverleaf of tRNA is named the "wishbone" model. It constant 8 double helical regions; one in the stem, four in the first, or constant arm, and three in the second arm. Four of these double helical regions are present in a model earlier proposed (1) and four additional regions not proposed by them are presented here. In the minimum energy general structure, the four helices in the constant arm are exactly 15 nucleotide pairs long. These helices are stacked in the sequences from gram-positive bacteria and probably stacked in gram-negative sequences as well. In sequences from gram-positive bacteria the length of the constant arm is maintained at 15 stacked pairs by an unusual minimum energy interaction involving a C26-G57 base pair intercalated between two adjacent helical regions.

Abstract
A five-helix secondary structural model is proposed for eukaryotic cytoplasmic 5S rRNA. All available sequence data are consistent with this model including those from Chlorella 5S rRNA whose sequence is revised by data included here. Various architectural features of eukaryotic 5S rRNA are summarized in terms of this secondary structural model. It is observed that previous failures to identify universal models for 5S rRNA secondary structure stem from significant differences in architecture between eukaryotic cytoplasmic and eubacterial 5S rRNAs. The usual four-helix model for eubacterial 5S rRNA secondary structure nevertheless does share several structural features with the five-helix model presented here for cytoplasmic 5S rRNA. It is thus likely that these two classes of 5S rRNA are the result of evolutionary divergence rather than convergence.

Abstract
A phylogenetic tree was constructed by computer analysis of 47 completely determined 5S rRNA sequences. The wheat mitochondrial sequence is significantly more related to prokaryotic than to eukaryotic sequences, and its affinity to that of the thermophilic Gram-negative bacterium Thermus aquaticus is comparable to the affinity between Anacystis nidulans and chloroplastic sequences. This strongly supports the idea of an endosymbiotic origin of plant mitochondria. A comparison of the plant cytosol and chloroplast sub-trees suggests a similar rate of nucleotide substitution in nuclear genes and chloroplastic genes. Other features of the tree are a common precursor of protozoa and metazoa, which appears to be more related to the fungal than to the plant protosequence, and an early divergence of the archebacterial sequence (Halobacterium cutirubrum) from the prokaryotic branch.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the 5S ribosomal RNA isolated from the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum has been determined. The sequence is: pG GCAACGGUCAUAGCAGCAGGGAAACACCAGAUCCCAUUCCGAACUCGACGGUUAAGCCUGCUGCGUAUUGCGUUGUACU GUAUGCCGCGAGGGUACGGGAAGCGCAAUAUGCUGUUACCAC(U)OH. The homology with the 55 rRNA from another archaebacterial species, Halobacterium cutirubrum, is only 60.6% and other 55 rRNAs are even less homologous. Examination of the potential for forming secondary structure is revealing. T. acidophilum does not conform to the usual models employed for either procaryotic or eucaryotic 5S rRNAs. Instead this 5S rRNA has a mixture of the characteristic features of each. On the whole this 5S rRNA does however appear more eucaryotic than eubacterial. These results give further support to the notion that the archaebacteria represent an extremely early divergence among entities with procaryotic organization.

Abstract
Translocation of DNA segments is a recombinational event seen in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes, and it is thought to be involved in controlling gene expression and in the evolution of chromosomes. In bacteria, insertion (IS) and transposable (Tn) elements not only translocate their own DNA, but also promote the rearrangement of both bacterial chromosomes and the plasmic genomes carrying them. The insertion element IS1 is one such element which is 768 base pairs long. IS1 is involved in the generation of deletion mutations and in the fusion of two different plasmid genomes. It can also promote the translocation of DNA segments flanked by two copies of IS1 to give rise to transposable elements responsible for antibiotic resistance and enterotoxin production. We report here the distribution of the IS1 sequence in various bacterial DNAs, particularly in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Comparison of the results with the phylogenetic relationship of these bacteria suggests that IS1 was transferred from one bacterium to another after their divergence and in some bacteria the copy number of IS1 increased by translocation. The increase in the number of copies of IS1 in bacteria may increase the probability of the genetic rearrangement responsible for the generation of resistance and enterotoxin plasmids, the existence of which is a serious problem in medical microbiology.

Abstract
The outer membranes of several strains of Escherichia coli, other enteric bacteria, and a variety of nonenteric gram-negative bacteria all contain a major heat-modifiable protein similar to the OmpA protein of E. coli K-12. The heat-modifiable proteins from these bacteria resemble the K-12 protein in molecular weight, in preferential release from the outer membrane by sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of Mg2+, and in characteristic cleavage by proteases to yield a smaller fragment which remains membrane bound. Antiserum directed against the K-12 protein precipitated the heat-modifiable protein from all strains of Enterobacteriaceae, and chemical comparison by isoelectric focusing, cyanogen bromide cleavage profiles, and proteolytic peptide analysis indicated that the proteins from the various enteric bacteria were nearly identical in primary structure. The heat-modifiable proteins from bacteria phylogenically distant from E. coli shared many of the properties of the E. coli protein but were chemically distinct. Thus, it appears that the structure (and, presumably, the function) of the heat-modifiable protein of gram-negative bacteria is strongly conserved during evolution.

Abstract
The mRNA for a major outer membrane lipoprotein from Escherichia coli was found to hybridize specifically with one of the EcoRI and one of the HindIII restriction endonuclease-generated fragments of total DNA from nine bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae: E. coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhimurium, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Enterobacter aerogenes, Edwardsiella tarda, Serratia marcescens, and Erwinia amylovora. However, among the Enterobacteriaceae, DNA from two species of Proteus (P. mirabilis and P. morganii) did not contain any restriction endonuclease fragments that hybridized with the E. coli lipoprotein mRNA. Furthermore, no hybrid bands were detected in four other gram-negative bacteria outside the family Enterobacteriaceae: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter sp. HO1-N, Caulobacter crescentus, and Myxococcus xanthus. Envelope fractions from all bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae tested above cross-reacted with antiserum against the purified E. coli free-form lipoprotein in the Ouchterlony immunodiffusion test. Both species of Proteus, however, gave considerably weaker precipitation lines, in comparison with the intense lines produced by the other members of the family. All of the above four bacteria outside the family Enterobacteriaceae did not cross-react with anti-E. coli lipoprotein serum. From these results, the rate of evolutionary changes in the lipoprotein gene seems to be closely related to that observed for various soluble enzymes of the Enterobacteriaceae.

Abstract
Secondary structure models of 54 5S RNA species are constructed based on the comparative analyses of their primary structure. All 5S RNAs examined have essentially the same secondary structure. However, there are revealing characteristic differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic types. The prokaryotic 5S RNAs may be further classified into two types, one having 120 nucleotides (120-N type) and another having 116 (116-N type). A possible mechanism for the conversion of the prokaryotic 116-N type to the 120-N type 5S RNAs (or vice versa) is discussed on the basis of their nucleotide alignments. Finally, by comparing the nucleotide alignments, we propose a phylogenic tree of the 54 5S RNA species.

Abstract
We have built the phylogenetic tree of Vertebrate 5S RNA using the sequence data of thirteen species belonging to six groups. Evolution of the 5S genes has been very slow in Vertebrates since 90 residues are identical in all 5S RNAs which are presently sequenced. In Amphibians and Teleosts different 5S genes are active in oocytes and in somatic cells. This dual gene system has probably been acquired independently by Amphibians and Teleosts. In Amphibians, the oocyte-type 5S genes have evolved much faster than the somatic-type genes. This is not true in all species since the oocyte-type genes of one Teleost (Tinca tinca) have evolved more slowly than the somatic-type genes. There are in all Vertebrate 5S RNAs five complementary regions which can be base-paired. The sequence data are compatible with the three secondary-structure models that have been proposed for 5S RNA.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis 168 was transformed with DNAs from B. amyloliquefaciens K or B. licheniformis IAM 11054. These two species show a considerable difference in ribosomal proteins from B. subtilis. Analyses of the transformants indicated that the genes for 16 proteins, S3, S5, S8, S12, S17, S19, BL1, BL5, BL6, BL8, BL14, BL16, BL17, BL22, BL23 and BL25 are located in the cysA-str-spc region on B. subtilis chromosome. The genes for 10 proteins, S4, S6, S13, S16, S20, BL15, BL18, BL20, BL24 and BL28 could not be found in this region in the present experiments.

Abstract
The evolution of ribosomal proteins of about 70 bacterial strains belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae has been studied by use of previously reported data (S. Osawa, T. Itoh, and E. Otaka, J. Bacteriol. 107:168-178, 1971) and those obtained in this paper. The proximity of the bacteria was quantified by co-chromatographing the differentially labeled ribosomal proteins from two strains on a column of carboxymethyl cellulose in various combinations. The were then classified into 12 groups (=species?) according to their ribosomal protein compositions and were placed in a phylogenic tree.

Abstract
The rate of nucleotide substitution (k(nuc)) of 5s RNA was estimated to be (1.8 +/- 0.5) x 10(-10) per site per year by comparing the nucleotide sequences of human and Xenopus 5s RNA and using the geological time elapsed since the separation of mammals and amphibians. Similarly, k(nuc) of 5.8s rRNA was calculated to be 0.93 10(-1u) per site per year from the sequences of rat hepatoma cells and Saccbaromyces cerevisiae. For the comparison of these data with the amino acid substitution rate of known proteins, the k(nuc) values of 5s rRNA and 5.8s rRNA were converted to the rate of amino acid substitution (k(aa')). The k(aa') values in pauling units were 0.4 and 2 0.3, respectively. The average k(aa) of ribosomal proteins was also estimated to be 0.2 0.3 pauling from the N-terminal amino acid sequences of seventeen 30s ribosomal proteins of Bacillus stearothermopbilus and Eschericbia coli. Thus, the evolutionary rates of these ribosomal components studied here are similar to each other; they considerably slower than that of the known cellular proteins. Most, if not all, of the replacements in ribosomal proteins occurred between amino acids of a chemically similar nature.
