Abstract
Yeast has at least seven nuclear histidine tRNA genes although there is a single tRNAHis. We have sequenced three of the histidine tRNA genes. The genes have identical coding sequences and the DNA anti-codon sequence GTG corresponds to the GUG anti-codon in tRNAHis. None of the three yeast histidine tRNA genes has an intervening sequence. Two of the three genes contain repeated DNA elements in the region adjacent to the 5' end of the histidine tRNA gene. One of the elements, sigma, is 18 base pairs (bp) from the 5' end of each of these genes, sigma elements are highly conserved and flanked by 5-bp repeats. The other element, delta, is at variable distances from the tRNA gene; one is 439 bp from a histidine tRNA gene and the other is 52 bp from a histidine tRNA gene. These solo delta elements are quite divergent when compared with delta s associated with transposon yeast elements and are not flanked by 5-bp repeats.Entities:
