ABSTRACT

The database on small ribosomal subunit RNA structurecontained 1804 nucleotlde sequences on April 23,1993. This number comprises 365 eukaryotlc, 65archaeal, 1260 bacterial, 30 plastldial, and 84mttocnondrial sequences. These are .stored In the formof an alignment in order to facilitate the use of thedatabase as input for comparative studies on higher-order structure and for reconstruction of phylogenetlctrees. The elements of the postulated secondarystructure for each molecule are Indicated by specialsymbols. The database Is available on-line directly fromthe authors by ftp and can also be obtained from theEMBL nucleotlde sequence library by electronic mall,ftp, and on CD ROM disk.

CONTENTS OF THE DATABASE

The database on small ribosomal subunit RNA (furtherabbreviated as SSU rRNA) currently contains 1804 nucleotidesequences, stored in the form of an alignment and containing thepostulated secondary structure pattern in encoded form. Thisnumber comprises 365 eukaryotic cytoplasmic, 65 archaeal, 1260bacterial, 30 plastidial, and 84 mitochondrial SSU rRNAs. Partialsequences are included if the combined length of the sequencedsegments corresponds to homologous segments in Escherichiacoli SSU rRNA amounting to at least 70% of the chain lengthof the latter molecule.

Previous compilations (1-5) included a table listing for eachentry the species name, further specifications such as the strain,variety, or tissue used for isolation of the gene, taxonomicposition of the species, length and completeness of the sequence,and accession number in nucleotide sequence libraries. Completeliterature references were also included for each entry. Becausethe number of available structures has nearly doubled sincepublication of the preceding compilation (5), such a table andthe accompanying references would now require an estimated20 pages just to cover the additional structures entered in thedatabase during the last year. Table 1 has therefore been restrictedto a list of the names of species for which the SSU rRNA structureis recorded in the database. However, this list covers all thestructures now filed, not just those added since the precedingcompilation. Instructions for obtaining the complete tableincluding further specifications and literature references,separately or together with the structural data, are given below.

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION OF SPECIES

For the Eukarya, the taxonomic classification of the species listedin Table 1 is according to Brusca and Brusca (6) for the Animalia,according to Cronquist (7) for the higher plants, according toAinsworth et al. (8) for the higher fungi, and according to Corliss(9) for the remaining eukaryotes.

For the Bacteria and the Archaea, the classification followedis based on the phylogeny described by Woese and coworkers(10—12). However, the assignment of a species to one of thetaxa distinguished by these authors is often problematic. To ourknowledge there does not exist a list assigning each bacterial orarchaeal species to one of the divisions or subdivisions that theydistinguish. Moreover, many sequences now become availablethrough deposition in one of the nucleotide sequence libraries,which in many cases is not (yet) accompanied by publication ina journal. The bacterial and archaeal SSU rRNA sequencesdeposited in these libraries are accompanied by a taxonomicdescription which does not correspond to that of Woese et al.(10-12) but is based on Bergey's Manual of SystematicBacteriology (13). Even the sequences described in the literatureare not always accompanied by an assignment of the species toone of the taxa distinguished by Woese and coworkers. In orderto obtain a more or less consistent classification, we havetherefore constructed an evolutionary tree from the alignmentof all archaeal, bacterial, and plastidial SSU rRNA sequences,1355 in total. The method followed for constructing the tree hasbeen described in detail elsewhere (14). In short, a dissimilaritymatrix was computed, corrected for multiple mutation (15), anda tree derived by neighbour-joining (16). The outline of theresulting tree is shown in Fig. 1. Most of the clusters visible inthe tree correspond to the archaeal and bacterial divisions andsubdivisions distinguished by Woese and coworkers (10-12).However, in the bacterial subtree, the genera Fibrobacter andFusobacterium do not integrate in any of the clusters. They aretherefore listed separately in Table 1.

It should be noted that the evolutionary distances between thebranching points leading to the clusters visible in the tree of Fig. 1are very small, especially for the major clusters of the Bacteria.Trees such as this one were constructed periodically as the SSUrRNA sequence alignment grew in size. Although the clustersindicated in Fig. 1 were reproducibly formed, the branching orderof these clusters was not constant but changed as a function ofthe composition of the sequence collection. However, the treecan serve to assign bacterial species to a given division orsubdivision because, although the relative position of the clusters

is variable, the appurtenance of each bacterial species to aparticular cluster is stable.

In Table 1, for the Bacteria, no hierarchical distinction is madebetween divisions (e.g. the spirochetes) and subdivisions (e.g.the a, /3, y, 6, and e subdivisions of the division Proteobacteria).This is because the subdivisions do not always form together amonophyletic cluster. As an example, in the tree of Fig. 1, theProteobacteria e group is separated from the monophyletic clusterformed by me Proteobacteria a, /3, y and 5 groups. As for thedivision of Gram positive bacteria and relatives, its twosubdivisions of high and low GC contents almost never formtogether a monophyletic cluster in the trees that we obtain. Forme Archaea, on the contrary, a distinction is made between thedivisions Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota (12). The latterdivision is subdivided into 8 subdivisions. Of these, theMethanobacteriales, Methanococcales, Thermococcales andMethanopyrales correspond to lineages distinguished by Olsenand Woese (12). The Methanomicrobiales group of the latterauthors comprises the Methanomicrobium group, theHalobacteria, and Archaeoglobus fulgidus in the tree of Fig. 1.

SECONDARY STRUCTURE MODELProkaryotic and eukaryotic models, nucleotide variabilityFig. 2 shows the prokaryotic secondary structure model,applicable to SSU rRNAs from archaea, bacteria, plastids, andmitochondria. The model of Fig. 3 applies to eukaryoticcytoplasmic SSU rRNAs. In contrast to the corresponding figuresin the preceding compilation (5), the models shown in Fig. 2and 3 do not simply distinguish between conserved and variableareas, but give a more detailed description of the variability ofeach site. The latter is defined as the ratio of the substitution rateat die considered site to me average substitution rate for the entiremolecule. The quantitative derivation of the variability of eachsite from the sequence alignment is described in detail elsewhere(17). Sites that are absolutely conserved, and those that areoccupied only in a limited number of SSU rRNAs, are indicatedby special symbols. The remaining ones were partitioned intofive equally large categories of increasing variability. In Fig. 2and 3, such sites are represented by dots with a diametercommensurate with their variability. Variable areas previouslydistinguished on a more intuitive basis and indicated on thegeneral secondary structure models of the preceding compilation(5) are still shown on Figg. 2 and 3 as VI to V9.

Helix numbering system and changes made to the modelsHelices are given a different number if separated by amultibranched loop (e.g. helices 9 and 10), by a pseudoknot loop(e.g. helices 1 and 2), or by a single stranded area that does notform a loop (e.g. helices 2 and 32). A single number is attributedto 50 'universal' helices, which are present in all hitherto knownSSU rRNAs from Archaea, Bacteria and plastids. They are alsopresent in all known eukaryotic SSU rRNAs except in those ofMicrosporidia, where some of these helices are missing. Thenumber of universal helices has risen from 48 in the precedingcompilation (5) to 50 because the tertiary interaction describedby Woese and Gutell (18) has been taken into account. Thisinteraction effectively transforms the helix previously numbered19 into three helices now numbered 19 to 21.

Helices specific to me prokaryotic model (Fig. 2) are givencomposite numbers of the form Pa-b, where a is the number of

the preceding universal helix and b sequentially numbers allhelices inserted between universal helices a and a + 1 . Helicesspecific to the eukaryotic model (Fig. 3) are similarly numberedEa-b . In Figg. 2 and 3, not all eukaryote- and prokaryote-specific helices that are encountered in various species areindicated, because these models in fact have the shape of theEscherichia colt and Saccharomyces cerevisiae SSU rRNAsecondary structure models, respectively. As an example, inDrosophila melanogaster SSU rRNA, the loop separating helicesE23-2 and E23-5 is a multifurcation bearing two more helicesnumbered E23-3 and E23-4 (5). These and other supernumeraryhelices that are present in a minority of SSU rRNAs are notindicated in Figg. 2 and 3, one of die reasons being that thevariability of the sites composing such helices cannot be computedin a dependable manner. However, in Table 2 the presence orabsence of eukaryote specific helices in SSU rRNAs of differenttaxa is summarized.

Mitochondrial SSU rRNAs, mough mey can be described bydie prokaryotic model, show extreme variability in length,ranging from about 600 nucleotides in flagellates to about 2000nucleotides in plants. This coincides with die absence of severaluniversal helices in the smaller molecules and widi the presenceof extra helices of the P-series in the larger ones. A tentativehelix occupancy table for mitochondrial SSU rRNAs andexamples of secondary structure models can be found in aprevious compilation (4). The alignment of, and transpositionof secondary structure models to, mitochondrial SSU rRNAs isless dependable than for other SSU rRNAs, not only becauseof the variability in length, but also because some of themitochondrial sequences are very monotonous due to their highAU contents.

Examples of secondary structure modelsFigg. 4 to 7 are examples of secondary structure models appliedto specific SSU rRNA sequences. Fig. 4 represents the SSUrRNA of die bacterium Escherichia coli, whereas die SSU rRNAof me halophilic archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium isshown in Fig. 5. The eukarya are represented by me structureof SSU rRNAs of the red alga Palmaria palmata in Fig. 6, andof the polymastigote Giardia duodenalis in Fig. 7. The lattermodel is shown as an example of a molecule possessing arestricted number of helices in variable areas V2 (helices 9 to11) and V4 (helices E23-n). Finally, an example of a model foran animal mitochondrial SSU rRNA is shown in Fig. 8.

COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, AND AVAILABILITY OFTHE DATA

SSU rRNA sequences deposited in the GenBank and EMBLnucleotide sequence libraries are obtained weekly from the EMBLfile server by electronic mail. By means of an appropriate setof programs, each new sequence is aligned with die most closelyrelated one already present in me alignment, the secondarystructure pattern is transposed to the newly aligned sequence,and die complementarity of die postulated secondary structureelements is checked. Manual corrections are made if necessaryby means of a specially developed editor. Finally, me newlyaligned sequence is automatically compared with the originalrecord in order to eliminate any errors that might have beenintroduced during editing of the alignment.

Files containing all the SSU rRNA sequences present in ourdatabase are available in the following three formats.

1) The sequences, listed one by one, written continuouslywithout the gaps needed for alignment and withoutindication of secondary structure elements.

2) The sequences, listed one by one, but with nucleotidesymbols interspersed with the gaps necessary for alignment.In this file, each sequence covers 4807 positions, whichis the present length of the complete alignment of alleukaryotic, archaeal, bacterial, and organellar sequences.

3) The sequences, listed in the form of an alignment withindication of the secondary elements. The alignment isdivided into 49 pages each comprising 100 positionscontaining a nucleotide or a gap. These positions alternatewith an equal number of positions that are either blank orcontain a symbol indicating the beginning or end of asecondary structure element. The secondary structure modeladopted for each SSU rRNA sequence, is completely definedin this file.

In addition, there are files containing a taxonomic list of speciesfor which the SSU rRNA sequence is known, plus further dataas listed in Table 1 of the previous compilation (5) and literaturereferences, and a file containing general documentation on thedatabase.

These files will be made available through 'anonymous ftp'on host uiam3.uia.ac.be (143.169.8.1). The files, as well as laterupdates, will also be made available to the EMBL nucleotidesequence library at Heidelberg for distribution on their file serverand on their CD-ROM disk. Due to the increasing volume ofthe database, copying it onto diskettes is getting cumbersome.However, researchers who do not have access to theaforementioned distribution channels can address requests forobtaining specific parts of the database on magnetic media to theauthors in writing or by sending an electronic mail message [email protected] or to [email protected].

(a) Some species names are listed several times followed by a sequential number.This means that the SSU rRNA sequence has been determined several times,usually by different authors. The sequences are not necessarily the same sincethey may have been determined for different varieties or strains of a species,or for different genes of the same organism. The systematics followed for thethree domains are mentioned in the text. Plastidial and mitochondria! structuresare listed according to the systematics followed for the host organism. In the caseof Archaca and Bacteria, the species name is followed by the culture collectionname and number if specified by the author. This number is followed by (T)if it is a type species. Abbreviations of culture collection names can be foundin the catalogs of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), DeutscheSammlung von Mikroorganismen (DSM), and Laboratorium voor MicrobiologieUniversiteit Gent (LMG). The assignment of the archaeal and bacterial speciesto taxa is based on the tree shown in outline in Fig. 1. These taxa correspondto the divisions and subdivisions distinguished by Woese and coworkers (10—12),except for the bacterial genera Fibrobaaer and Fusobaaerium, which form separateclusters and therefore are listed as separate taxa. The taxon of Gram positivebacteria of low GC contents and relatives comprises a number of genera withgram negative cell walls: Megasphaera, Pectinatus, Selenomonas, Sporomusa,and Zymophitus. For the Archaca, the classification is slightly different from thatfollowed by Olsen and Woese (12), as explained in the text.

(b) Most of the species listed under the heading 'Proteobacteria gamma*' areattributed to the Proteobacteria 7 group by Woese (11), although they clusterwith the Proteobacteria 0 in the tree of Rg . 1. Exceptions are Xanthomonasmahophilia and Xylella Jastidiosa which belong to the Proteobacteria (3 groupaccording to the same author (11).

(a)In the case of the genera Giardia, Babesia, and Plasmodium, the helix occupancy applies to all species of the genus.(b)The presence of a helix is indicated by an asterisk. Only eukaryote-specific helices are listed since universal helices are present in all known eukaryotic SSUrRNAs except those of Vairimorpha necatrix, which lacks helices 10, 11, 43, and 46 and of Encephalitozoon cuniculi, which lacks helices 11, 18, 43, and 46.The structure of the SSU rRNA of the insect Acyrtosyphon pisum in area V4 (helices E23-n), which is exceptionally large in this species, is not yet known.

Figure 1. Evolutionary tree reconstructed from archaeal, bacterial and plastidial SSU rRNA sequences. The tree was constructed as described in the text from atotaLof 1348 SSU rRNA sequences. Clusters distinguishable in the tree are simplified to isosceles triangles with a height approximately equal to the average distanceseparating the terminal nodes from the deepest branching point within the cluster, and a base proportional to the number of sequences composing it, mentionedin brackets after the taxon name. If a taxon is represented by a single sequence, the species name is mentioned in italics. Each cluster corresponds to a taxon listedin Table 1. The cluster labeled Proteobacteria 7* is in faa more closely related to the Proteobacteria 0 than to the Proteobacteria 7 in the present tree. However,its position between the latter two clusters is not stable and it consists mainly of species classified as Proteobacteria 7 by Woese (11) (see also footnote b to Table1). The scale on top measures evolutionary distance expressed in substitutions per nucleotide.

Figure 2. Secondary structure model for prokaryotic SSU rRNAs. Sites are divided into five equally numerous categories of increasing variability, indicated byfull circles of increasing diameter. Sites that are invariant among presently known sequences are indicated as hollow squares. Areas containing the most variablesites are labded VI to V9. The helix numbering system is explained in the text. Helices P37-1 and P37-2 are absent in archaeal SSU rRNAs.

The shape of the model is based on Saccbaromyces cerevisiae SSUrRNA, and hollow circles represent nucleotides deleted in most other eukaryotic SSU rRNAs. The area corresponding to V6 in prokaryotic SSU rRNAs is moreconserved among eukaryotic SSU rRNAs.
