Denaturation map of the ribosomal DNA of Lytechinus variegatus sperm
Abstract
Electron microscopy of the partially heat denatured ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from sea urchin (Lytechinus variegatus) sperm has demonstrated that it consists of repeating units of 3.6 +/- 0.2 micron, corresponding to a mol.wt of 7.2 +/- 0.4 x 10(6). Based on differential denaturability, each repeat unit is divided into 2 regions. The larger region of 2.47 +/- 0.11 micron (mol.wt 4.9 +/- 0.22 x 10(6)) corresponds in length to the ribosomal precursor RNA of sea urchins and the smaller, GC-rich, subunit of 1.16 +/- 0.09 micrometer (mol.wt 2.3 +/- 0.18 x 10(6)) is presumed to contain non-transcribed spacer sequences.
