5.8S ribosomal RNA From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In molecular biology the 5.8S ribosomal RNA (5.8S rRNA) is a non-coding RNA component of the large subunit of the eukaryotic ribosome and so plays an important role in protein translation. It is transcribed by RNA polymerase I as part of the 45S precursor that also contains 18S and 28S rRNA. Its function is thought to be in ribosome translocation.[1] It is also known to form covalent linkage to the p53 tumour suppressor protein.[2] 5.8S rRNA can be used as a reference gene for miRNA detection.[3] -THIS IS MY PART TO BE ADDED TO ORIGINAL POST: : The 5.8S ribosomal RNA is used to better understand other rRNA processes and pathways in the cell.[1]
THIS IS MY NEW ADDED SECTION:Structure 5.8S rRNA structure is approximately 150 nucleotides in size and it consists of plenty of folded strands, some of which are presumed to be single stranded.[2] This ribosomal RNA works in sync with the 28S rRNA molecule in various ways, i.e in the folding of the 5.8S rRNA molecule structure.[2] The 5.8S and 28S rRNA have both an ITS 1 and ITS 2 (Internal Transcribed Spacer) and a 5’ and 3’ ETS (External Transcribed Spacer) that is between them. [3] The ITS and ETS are necessary because they must be cleaved in order for the 3’ end of the 5.8S rRNA to be formed; thus, maturing the rRNA. This is accomplished through a continuous cleavage pathway performed by both endonuclease and exonuclease enzymes, cutting the spacers at specific locations. [3]
