Vertical evolution and horizontal transfer of CR1 non-LTR retrotransposons and Tc1/mariner DNA transposons in Lepidoptera species.
Horizontal transfer (HT) is a complex phenomenon usually used as an explanation of phylogenetic inconsistence, which cannot be interpreted in terms of vertical evolution. Most examples of HT of eukaryotic genes involve transposable elements. An intriguing feature of HT is that its frequency differs among transposable elements classes. Although HT is well known for DNA transposons and long termi...
متن کاملA rice Tc1/mariner-like element transposes in yeast.
The Tc1/mariner transposable element superfamily is widely distributed in animal and plant genomes. However, no active plant element has been previously identified. Nearly identical copies of a rice (Oryza sativa) Tc1/mariner element called Osmar5 in the genome suggested potential activity. Previous studies revealed that Osmar5 encoded a protein that bound specifically to its own ends. In this ...
متن کاملContinuous exchange of sequence information between dispersed Tc1 transposons in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome.
In a genome-wide analysis of the active transposons in Caenorhabditis elegans we determined the localization and sequence of all copies of each of the six active transposon families. Most copies of the most active transposons, Tc1 and Tc3, are intact but individually have a unique sequence, because of unique patterns of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The sequence of each of the 32 Tc1 element...
متن کاملIn vitro shuttle mutagenesis using engineered mariner transposons.
Advances in our understanding of the protozoan parasite Leishmania have been facilitated by the development of molecular and genetic tools. One powerful approach for gene identification and analysis is transposon mutagenesis. This can be performed directly in vivo, but often it is more convenient to generate transpositions in vitro for subsequent analysis in vivo, in a process termed "shuttle m...
متن کاملExpanding the diversity of the IS630-Tc1-mariner superfamily: discovery of a unique DD37E transposon and reclassification of the DD37D and DD39D transposons.
A novel transposon named ITmD37E was discovered in a wide range of mosquito species. Sequence analysis of multiple copies in three Aedes species showed similar terminal inverted repeats and common putative TA target site duplications. The ITmD37E transposases contain a conserved DD37E catalytic motif, which is unique among reported transposons of the IS630-Tc1-mariner superfamily. Sequence comp...
