5.8S rRNA is a low molecular weight ribosomal RNA which is noncovalently bonded to the larger ribosomal subunit 28S rRNA; through its 3' end and through its 5' end. This interaction is an integral part of the ribosome, and plays an important role in the ribosome structure and function.
There is a high degree of homology between the 5.8S rRNA primary structures of rat, turtle and chicken. The base sequence of rat 5.8S rRNA differs only in one position from that of turtle and in three positions fr.om that of cl1.icken. Tl1ere is a single purine substitution at the 5' …
