The lOSa RNA Gene of Thermus thermophilus

Abstract
The lOSa RNA gene of Thermus thermophilus was isolated and sequenced. The tRNA-like structure at the 5′ and 3′ ends and other secondary structure features of the T. thermophilus l0Sa RNA are similar to E. coli l0Sa RNA. A variant of the sequence motif coding for the tag peptide is located in the centre of T. thermophilus l0Sa RNA.
