RESUMO
The 1402 bp Eco RI repeating unit of bovine satellite I DNA (rho CsCl = 1.715 gm/cm3) has been cloned in pBR322. The sequence of this cloned repeat has been determined and is greater than 97% homologous to the sequence reported for another clone of satellite I (48) and for uncloned satellite I DNA (49). The internal sequence structure of the Eco RI repeat contains imperfect direct and inverted repeats of a variety of lengths and frequencies. The most outstanding repeat structures center on the hexanucleotide CTCGAG which, at a stringency of greater than 80% sequence homology, occurs at 26 locations within the RI repeat. Two of these 6 bp units are found within the 31 bp consensus sequence of a repeating structure which spans the entire length of the 1402 bp repeat (49). The 31 bp consensus sequence contains an internal dodecanucleotide repeat, as do the consensus sequences of the repeat units determined for 3 other bovine satellite DNAs (rho CsCl = 1.706, 1.711a, 1.720 gm/cm3). Based on this evidence, we present a model for the evolutionary relationship between satellite I and the other bovine satellites.
