Sequence characterization of 16S rRNA has revealed an ancient divergence that divides prokaryotic organisms into eubacteria and archaebacteria1. This evolutionary split is so fundamental that by the 16S rRNA criterion, the archaebacteria appear to be as distinct from eubacteria as they are from eukaryotes2. Extensive comparison of the lipids3 and cell walls4,5 of the various archaebacterial species strongly supports this interpretation. Detailed molecular investigations of the archaebacteria…

Initiator tRNAs from archaebacteria show common unique sequence characteristics
- BiologyNature
- 1982
The nucleotide sequences of initiator tRNAs from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, Halococcus morrhuae and Thermoplasma acidophilum are determined, and it is found that they have a common unique structural feature that differs from both true bacterial initiatortRNAs and eukaryotic initiatorTRNAs.

The aim of this study is to analyze possible novel regulatory mechanisms in the rRNA genes of the extremely thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidoccddccrius to discover rRNAgene regulation, transcript processing and requirements for mature ribosome function.

Expansion Segments in Bacterial and Archaeal 5S Ribosomal RNAs
- BiologybioRxiv

The results of a comprehensive search for the expansion sequences in prokaryotic 5S rRNAs of 15 structural types were identified in 15 archaeal and 36 bacterial genomes, with results indicating that several strains harboring the expanded sequences belong to the bacterial orders Clostridiales, Halanaerobiale, ThermoanaerOBacterales, and Alteromonadales.

Cryo-Electron Microscopy Visualization of a Large Insertion in the 5S ribosomal RNA of the Extremely Halophilic Archaeon Halococcus morrhuae
- BiologybioRxiv

A cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of the native large subunit of the extreme halophile Halococcus morrhuae (ATCC® 17082) shows that the insertion site forms a four-way junction that fully preserves the canonical 5S rRNA structure.

The precursor forms of prokaryote 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are larger than their mature counterparts by some 10% (refs 1–5), and the discovery of a stable form of the 5S RNA some 30–40% larger than normal, in Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum.

Archaebacterial elongation factor is ADP-ribosylated by diphtheria toxin
- BiologyNature

It is reported here that diphtheria toxin also catalyses the ADP-ribosylation of archaebacterial elongation factors, meaning that these factors have to be assigned to the EF2 type; it is assumed that the ADp- ribosylatable structure arising so early in evolution is of fundamental importance for the elongation process.

Results suggest that phylogenetically H. cutirubrum is more closely related to the eukaryotes than to the E. coli or R. spheroides, and that prokaryotes related to these two groups are more related than to each other.

Results give further support to the notion that the archaebacteria represent an extremely early divergence among entities with procaryotic organization.

A phylogenetic analysis based upon ribosomal RNA sequence characterization reveals that living systems represent one of three aboriginal lines of descent: the eubacteria, comprising all typical bacteria, the archaebacteria, and the urkaryotes, now represented in the cytoplasmic component of eukaryotic cells.

It is possible that functional conformations of the 5SRNA molecule need only exist in the context of the ribosome, and consequently, may only exist therein, and the interpretation of experimental investigations on the isolated 5S RNA molecule may have inherent difficulties.
