The nucleotide sequence of 5S ribosomal RNA from the beetle Harpalus rufipes was determined and compared with primary structures of other insect 5S rRNAs. Sequence differences between two beetle 5S rRNAs may represent phylogenetic markers specific for two groups of Coleoptera - Adephaga and Polyphaga. Analysis of all insect sequences using parsimony allowed us to infer a phylogenetic tree of insects, which is consistent with morphological and paleobiological data.
测定了甲虫赤足步甲5S核糖体RNA的核苷酸序列，并与其他昆虫5S rRNA的一级结构进行了比较。两种甲虫5S rRNA之间的序列差异可能代表了鞘翅目两个类群——肉食亚目和多食亚目的特异性系统发育标记。使用简约法对所有昆虫序列进行分析，使我们能够推断出昆虫的系统发育树，这与形态学和古生物学数据一致。
