5S rRNA-encoding genes of the marsupial frog Gastrotheca riobambae.

del Pino EM, Murphy C, Masson PH, Gall JG.


???displayArticle.abstract???
The major 5S rRNA gene repeat of the marsupial frog, Gastrotheca riobambae, is 1052 bp in length. It contains a 5S rRNA gene similar to the Xenopus laevis somatic gene, two spacer regions, and a pseudogene. The G. riobambae haploid genome contains about 500 copies of this predominant repeat. This relatively low number of 5S rRNA genes is associated with a limited amplification of the 18S, 5.8S and 28S rRNA genes in oocytes and with a slow rate of early development.
