. We characterized a complete Sec61 complex in Nosema bombycis , which has been shown to consist of Sec61α , Sec61β , and Sec61γ genes. Comparing the genomic regions that harbor the respective subunit genes between N. bombycis , Encephalitozoon cuniculi , and Antonospora locustae , we found that microsporidian genomes have high degree of synteny in short genomic fragment, and that this gene synteny in general might exist throughout microsporidian genomes.
