A new family of Ty1-copia-like retrotransposons originated in the tomato genome by a recent horizontal transfer event.
Rider is a novel and recently active Ty1-copia-like retrotransposon isolated from the T3238fer mutant of tomato. Structurally, it is delimited by a duplication of target sites and contains two long terminal direct repeats and an internal open reading frame, which encodes a Ty1-copia-type polyprotein with characteristic protein domains required for retrotransposition. The family of Rider element...
متن کاملEARE-1, a Transcriptionally Active Ty1/Copia-Like Retrotransposon Has Colonized the Genome of Excoecaria agallocha through Horizontal Transfer
Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute the majority of the content of angiosperm genomes, but their evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a putative full-length (~9550 bp) Ty1/copia-like retrotransposon in Excoecaria agallocha and its evolution in Euphorbiaceae. The so-called EARE-1 is phylogenetically closely relat...
متن کاملActivation of Ty1-copia Group Retrotransposons of Dendrobium officinale under Abiotic Stress Conditions
By using universal primer Ty1-copia retrotransposon reverse transcriptase (RT), the conserved reverse transcriptase domain of about 260 bp, which was induced by cold stress and osmotic stress, was amplified by RTPCR from the Dendrobium officinale in this study, indicating that the retrotransposon could be activated by stress conditions. The amplicons were recovered and cloned for sequencing and...
متن کاملTy1-copia group retrotransposons and the evolution of retroelements in several angiosperm plants: evidence of horizontal transmission
The phylogenetic relationships among thirty-seven new Ty1-copia group retrotransposons in seven angiosperm plants were examined by reverse transcriptase and ribonuclease H sequence analysis. Distribution pattern of the retrotransposons of closely related plant species generally reflects a close phylogenetic relationship. In contrast, we found that several retrotransposon sequences from the same...
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 ...
