A large number of tRNA genes are symmetrically located in fission yeast centromeres.

Abstract

We report here that the fission yeast centromere regions in the three chromosomes contain no less than 36 symmetrically arranged tRNA-coding sequences, and many of them are located within the inner inverted regions that are thought to be essential for the centromere function. There are 11 different species of tRNA-coding sequences, and four of them are identical to those previously known in this organism. This high-density distribution of tRNA genes in the centromere regions is surprising, as the fission yeast centromeres were thought to form transcriptionally inactive structures.
