ABSTRACT:

Secondary structure and phylogenetic efficacy of the internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS1) in laccase producing organism were studied among 35 species through molecular phylogenetic analyses. The sequence of laccase gene were taken from the NCBI databases and compared with the identified sequence that was coded for laccase. Similar sequences of laccase synthesizing organisms were downloaded from the database and multiple sequence alignment was performed. The most closely related sequences were taken from each organism and RNA structure was predicted. This structure was used for comparative approach of rRNA sequences to be similar for the aligned sequence. Then the phylogenetic analysis was carried for the above sequences and the results were compared with the RNA structure for comparative analysis. During the evolution, the laccase genes from the prokaryotes were differentiated to the higher organisms was reported.
