Two abundant satellite DNA sequences were identified in and cloned from the DNA of T. c. karelinii. The smaller of these with a repeat unit of 33 base pairs (bp) is designated TkS1, the larger with 68 bp is designated TkS2. These satellites are also present in DNA from T.c. cristatus, T. c. carnifex and T. marmoratus but in substantially lower copy number. In situ hybridization to lampbrush chromosomes of T. c. karelinii and T. c. cristatus shows the satellites are concentrated in the heterochromatic centromere bars of T. c. karelinii and in a region around the centromere granule in T. c. cristatus. The satellites also bind specifically to the centromere regions of mitotic metaphase chromosomes. They do not bind to the heteromorphic arms of chromosome 1, which were previously shown to be rich in highly repeated DNA. DNA/RNA-transcript in situ hybrids to lampbrush chromosomes with TkS1 suggest that this sequence is occasionally transcribed on lampbrush loops near the centromeres.
