Non-allelic gene conversion enables rapid evolutionary change at multiple regulatory sites encoded by transposable elements
Transposable elements (TEs) allow rewiring of regulatory networks, and the recent amplification of the ISX element dispersed 77 functional but suboptimal binding sites for the dosage compensation complex to a newly formed X chromosome in Drosophila. Here we identify two linked refining mutations within ISX that interact epistatically to increase binding affinity to the dosage compensation compl...
متن کاملGenetic differentiation of transposable elements under mutation and unbiased gene conversion.
A model is developed to predict the extent of genetic differentiation in a family of transposable elements under the combined effects of genetic drift, transposition, mutation and unbiased gene conversion. The model is based on simplifying assumptions that are valid when transposition is always to new sites and copy number per site is low. In the absence of gene conversion, the degree of differ...
متن کاملGene conversion maintains nonfunctional transposable elements in an obligate mutualistic endosymbiont.
Long-term bacterial endosymbionts typically exhibit reduced genomes, lack genes encoding recombination functions and transposable elements, such as insertion sequences (ISs). In sharp contrast, I found that ISs constitute 2.4% of the genome of the obligate mutualistic endosymbiont Wolbachia wBm. Although no IS copy is transpositionally functional, I show that ISs persist in wBm because of frequ...
متن کاملMitotic Gene Conversion in Yeast
In yeast, coincident gene conversion events involving the LEUl and TRPS loci (16 cM apart) occur at frequencies that re far greater than is expected for two independent acts of recombination. When a large plasmid (pJM53) is placed between these genes so that a direct repeat is produced, there is frequent loss of the insert among coincident convertants. Previous results strongly suggest that thi...
متن کاملPatterns of gene action in plant development revealed by enhancer trap and gene trap transposable elements.
The crucifer Arabidopsis thaliana has been used widely as a model organism for the study of plant development. We describe here the development of an efficient insertional mutagenesis system in Arabidopsis that permits identification of genes by their patterns of expression during development. Transposable elements of the Ac/Ds system carrying the GUS reporter gene have been designed to act as ...
