Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of a gene cluster encoding the NusG a nd the L11-L1-L10-L12, ribosomal proteins from the thermophilic crenar chaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus has been determined, The genes are arra nged in the same order as the equivalent genes in the rif region of Es cherichia coli. The ribosomal proteins exhibit between 66% (L10) and 8 0% (L12) identity with their respective equivalents from Sulfolobus ac idocaldarius. The short distance (5 nucleotides) between the nusG stop codon and the L11 start codon suggests that nusG and the genes for th e ribosomal proteins are transcribed as a single unit.
