Popis: The complete 1473-bp sequence of the 16S rRNA gene from the archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium has been determined. Alignment with the sequences of the 16S rRNA gene from the archaebacteria Halobacterium volcanii and Halococcus morrhua reveals similar degrees of homology, about 88%. Differences in the primary structures of H. halobium and eubacterial (Escherichia coli) 16S rRNA or eukaryotic (Dictyostelium discoideum) 18S rRNA are much higher, corresponding to 63% and 56% homology, respectively. A comparison of the nucleotide sequence of the H. halobium 16S rRNA with those of its archaebacterial counterparts generally confirms a secondary structure model of the RNA contained in the small subunit of the archaebacterial ribosome.
