Two Drosophila melanogaster tRNAGly genes are contained in a direct duplication at chromosomal locus 56F

Abstract

One Drosophila melanogaster tRNAGly gene occurs on each 1.1 – 2.0 kb unit of a direct duplication at chromosomal region 56F. The nucleotide sequence of the gene and the 5' flanking region has been determined. The non-transcribed strand sequence of the tRNA gene is: 5' GCATCGGTGGTTCAGTGGTAGAATGCTCGCCTGCCACGCGGGCGGCCCGGGTTCGATTCCCGGCCGATGCA 3'. This nucleotide sequence is identical to that of the major glycine tRNA in Bombyx mori posterior silk gland. Within the 22 kb region mapped, additional tRNA genes are found, an observation consistent with reports that genes for other isoacceptors are present at this locus.
