The methylated nucleotide sequences in the rRNA molecules of the following vertebrate cultured cells were compared: human (HeLa); hamster (BHK/C13); mouse (L); chick-embryofibroblast; Xenopus laevis kidney. In each species the combined 18S, 28S and 5.8S molecules possess approx. 110-115 methyl groups, and the methylated oligonucleotides released after complete digestion of the rRNA by T1 ribonuclease encompass several hundred nucleotides. "Fingerprints" of the three mammalian methyl-labelled 18S rRNA species were qualitatively indistinguishable. "Fingerprints" of digests of 28S rRNA of hamster and mouse L-cells were extremely similar to those of HeLa cells, differing in one and three methylated oligonucleotides respectively. "Fingerprints" of methyl-labelled rRNA from chick and Xenopus strongly resembled those of mammals in most respects, but differed in several oligonucleotides in both 18S and 28S rRNA. At least some of the differences between "fingerprints" appear to be due to single base changes or to the presence or absence of methyl groups at particular points in the primary sequence. The findings strongly suggest that the methylated-nucleotide sequences are at least 95% homologous between the rRNA molecules of the two most distantly related vertebrates compared, man and Xenopus laevis.
