  • Title: A highly conserved repetitive sequence from Physarum polycephalum contains nucleotide arrangements similar to replicator sequences.
    Author: Kruse L, Meyer G, Hildebrandt A.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1993 Oct 19; 1216(1):129-33. PubMed ID: 8218403.
    Abstract:
    An interspersed repetitive sequence from Physarum polycephalum has been cloned and analysed. The 394 bp sequence is highly conserved and contains several homopolymeric (dA)-(dT) tracts capable of forming bent DNA structures and a 10/11 match to the yeast-ARS-consensus sequence. The repetition frequency of the described sequence is about 3000 to 7000, a number that would fit with the distribution of replicator segments in Physarum.
