The terminal 220 base pairs (bp) of the gene for 18S rRNA and 18 bp of the adjoining spacer rDNA of the silkworm Bombyx mori have been sequenced. Comparison with the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of Escherichia coli has shown that a region including 45 bp of the B. mori sequence at the 3' end is remarkably homologous with the 3' terminal E. coli sequence. Other homologies occur in the terminal regions of the 18S and 16S rRNAs, including a perfectly conserved stretch of 13 bp within a longer homology located 150--200 bp from the 3' termini. These homologies are the most extensive so far reported between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA.
家蚕18S rRNA基因的末端220个碱基对(bp)以及相邻间隔rDNA的18 bp已被测序。与大肠杆菌16S rRNA基因序列的比较表明,家蚕序列3'端包含45 bp的区域与大肠杆菌3'端序列具有显著同源性。18S和16S rRNA的末端区域也存在其他同源性,包括在距离3'末端150 - 200 bp的较长同源区域内有一段13 bp的完全保守序列。这些同源性是迄今为止报道的原核生物和真核生物基因组DNA之间最广泛的同源性。
