The shotgun cloning of a Mycobacterium bovis BCG (BCG) genome into pBluescript SK (+) successfully yielded a 0.9 kbp fragment, confirming the ability of Escherichia coli thyA mutant MH2702 to grow in a thymine-depleted medium. This DNA fragment contained a gene homologous to the thymidylate synthase (TS)-encoding genes (thyA) of other organisms. An inverted repeat sequence and open reading frame (ORF) were observed at the upstream region of the thyA. A computer analysis revealed that the protein encoded by this ORF possessed a structure unique for a DNA binding protein.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
