| Variations observed in 5S rRNA base compositions are almost entirely due to fixation of point mutations. As a consequence, 5S rRNA size has remained relatively constant during evolution and, therefore, dependencies among the four bases can be predicted. In order to characterize the nature and to determine the degree of such dependencies, correlation analysis followed by principal component factorial analysis was conducted on a large sample of 5S rRNA sequences. The results show that the purine and pyrimidine contents tend to remain constant, so that A + G = Kpur and C + U = Kpyr. The composition of the four bases expressed now by Kpur/Kpyr relationships is also constant (Ks). These relationships imply that the behavior of the mutations in the variable... |

| Evolution of metazoan 5S rRNA sequences was analyzed through base composition and types, location and frequency of clustered bases. Characters from sequences of protostomes did not show regular trends as compared with paleontology dating or organism complexity. Trends of increasing G and C, stronger in G clusters, and decreasing A and U, were detected in deuterostomes, in parallel with evolution of complexity. The multifunctional domain 71-104 was highlighted among conserved stretches. Clusters of C were typical of helices. Those of G were longer, extending from helices into loops or related to bulges, which is suggestive of functional significance. Deuterostomian trends were installed early in the lineage and reached full development in aquatic organisms,... |
