28S ribosomal RNAis the structural ribosomal RNA (rRNA) for thelarge subunit (LSU)of eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes, and thus one of the basic components of all eukaryotic cells. It has a size of 25S in plants and 28S in mammals, hence the alias of25S–28S rRNA.[1]

Combined with5.8S rRNAto the 5' side, it is the eukaryotic nuclear homologue of theprokaryotic 23Sandmitochondrial 16Sribosomal RNAs.[2][3][4]

Use in phylogeny

edit

The genes coding for 28S rRNA are referred to as 28S rDNA. The comparison of thesequencesfrom these genes are sometimes used in molecular analysis to constructphylogenetic trees,for example inprotists,[5]fungi,[6]insects,[7]arachnids,[8]tardigrades,[9]andvertebrates.[10][11]

Structure

edit

The 28S rRNA is typically 4000–5000 nt long.[12]

Some eukaryotes cleave 28S rRNA into two parts before assembling both into the ribosome, a phenomenon termed the "hidden break".[12]
