We have used genomic sequencing data extracted from the first assembly of the Xenopus tropicalis genome combined with a degenerated PCR approach to identify multiple lineages of Tc1 related transposable elements. Full-length elements were isolated in each lineage and were characterized. Most of them exhibit the typical characteristics of Tc1-like elements (TLEs). An open reading frame (ORF) encoding...
Tn4555, a mobilizable transposon carrying cefoxitin resistance, is directed to a preferred target site in the Bacteroides fragilis chromosome by a transposon-encoded targeting protein TnpA. In an effort to characterize target site selection for Tn4555, the existence of preferred target sites in other species of Bacteroides and in Escherichia coli was examined. For these analyses a Tn4555 mini element,...
The gene Hf1 plays a key role in the expression of floral color in petunias. Hf1 encodes a flavonoid-3′,5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H). The recessive allele (hf1) in an inbred line of petunia is known to be generated by the insertion of a transposable element (Psl). We isolated a novel Mutator-like transposable element (named dTph9) from the hf1 allele of a commercial petunia with red flowers. Another novel...
