Sequence analysis of cloned rescued DNA fragments from a Bacillus subtilis strain with an inserted recombinant plasmid in ribosomal operon rrnE revealed the presence of two tRNA genes for Met and Asp at the 3' end of the operon. Probing chromosomal DNA from a strain carrying a plasmid inserted in rrnD with a fragment containing the genetically unassigned cluster of 16 tRNA genes revealed that the cluster is located immediately following the rrnD operon. Our findings show that all 10 rrn operons in B. subtilis are associated with tRNA gene clusters.

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
