COMMENT     A 13 base pair sequence, within the conserved region of about 130
            base pairs (positions 501-633), is conserved among kinetoplastid
            genera [1]. Minicircle fragments containing the conserved sequence
            and a 5' adjacent segment, starting at position 199 with an 18 base
            pair sequence that occurs as 3 or 4 pairs of imperfect inverted
            repeats in African trypanosomes [2], exhibit anomalous
            electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylomide gels [1]. The position
            of the oligo (dA) tracts in the fragments appears to influence this
            anomalous ability [1]. The presence of conserved features
            independent of conserved nucleotide sequence and the lack of
            conserved open reading frames among these minicircles suggests that
            mincircles may have a function other than encoding protein [1]. The
            18 base pair sequence is polar, and one half is almost perfectly
            conserved [2]. The distribution of the 18 base pair sequences in
            minicircles defines two classes of sequences: A segments vary
            considerably in length and contain about 10% more "g" + "c" than B
            segments, which are all about 100 base pairs long. B segments along
            with their terminal 18 base pair sequences superficially resemble
            insertion sequences [2]. Five 14 base pair long degenerate tandem
            repeats are located at positions 301-432.
