Inverted terminal repeat sequence in the macronuclear DNA of Stylonychia pustulata

Y Oka et al. Gene. 1980 Sep.

Abstract

The structure of macronuclear DNA of a hypotrichous ciliate, Stylonychia pustulata, was examined by both electron microscopy and nucleotide sequence analysis. The DNA in the macronucleus consists of small linear molecules with average length of about 3400 base pairs (bp). Most, if not all, of these DNA molecules have identical inverted terminal repeat sequence of 20 nucleotide residues. This sequence is 5'-CCCCAAAACCCC-AAAACCCC.
