Abstract excerpt
The proximal region in the 5' external transcribed spacer (5'ETS) of the genes encoding ribosomal RNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombe was examined with respect to structural features which underlie rRNA maturation. Computer analyses and partial digestion with nuclease probes indicate a crucifix-like structure composed primarily of three extended hairpins which are more highly ordered than previously proposed in...
