Although most eukaryotic genomes lack operons, occasionally clusters of genes are discovered that are related in function. Now, a metabolic operon-like gene cluster has been described in Arabidopsis thaliana, that is needed for triterpene synthesis.
尽管大多数真核生物基因组缺乏操纵子,但偶尔会发现一些功能相关的基因簇。现在,拟南芥中已经描述了一个类代谢操纵子基因簇,它是三萜合成所必需的。
