Retrotransposon-mediated genome evolution on a local ecological scale.
Fifteen years later we still know nothing about the mechanisms underlying genome-restructuring events in response to environmental cues. This is despite numerous studies, especially in plants, suggesting a connection between growth conditions and one form of genome restructuring, a change in genome size. In many plants there is impressive variation in total genomic DNA content among individuals...
متن کاملRetrotransposon overdose and genome integrity.
Yeast and mammalian genomes are replete with nearly identical copies of long dispersed repeats in the form of retrotransposons. Mechanisms clearly exist to maintain genome structure in the face of potential rearrangement between the dispersed repeats, but the nature of this machinery is poorly understood. Here we describe a series of distinct "retrotransposon overdose" (RO) lineages in which th...
متن کاملAutonomous transposition of the tobacco retrotransposon Tto1 in rice.
The complete nucleotide sequence of the tobacco retrotransposon Tto1, one of the few active retrotransposons of plants, was determined. The sequence analysis suggests that Tto1 carries all functions required for autonomous transposition through reverse transcription. Gene organization and the nature of the transcription product suggest that Tto1 uses a gene expression mechanism different from t...
متن کاملThe RNAPII-CTD Maintains Genome Integrity through Inhibition of Retrotransposon Gene Expression and Transposition
RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) contains a unique C-terminal domain that is composed of heptapeptide repeats and which plays important regulatory roles during gene expression. RNAPII is responsible for the transcription of most protein-coding genes, a subset of non-coding genes, and retrotransposons. Retrotransposon transcription is the first step in their multiplication cycle, given that the RNA in...
متن کاملCharacterization of Ty1/copia-like retrotransposon families from pigeonpea genome.
Retrotransposons contribute significantly to the size, organization, and genetic diversity of their host genomes. To characterize novel retrotransposon families in pigeonpea and develop retrotransposon-based sequence-specific amplification polymorphic markers, in silico homology sequence search was carried out against the whole genome shotgun sequence of pigeonpea variety Asha (ICPL87119). For ...
