Transposon Tn7. cis-Acting sequences in transposition and transposition immunity.
We have identified and characterized the cis-acting sequences at the termini of the bacterial transposon Tn7 that are necessary for its transposition. Tn7 participates in two kinds of transposition event: high-frequency transposition to a specific target site (attTn7) and low-frequency transposition to apparently random target sites. Our analyses suggest that the same sequences at the Tn7 ends ...
متن کاملFunctional dissection of the cis-acting sequences of the Arabidopsis transposable element Tag1 reveals dissimilar subterminal sequence and minimal spacing requirements for transposition.
The Arabidopsis transposon Tag1 has an unusual subterminal structure containing four sets of dissimilar repeats: one set near the 5' end and three near the 3' end. To determine sequence requirements for efficient and regulated transposition, deletion derivatives of Tag1 were tested in Arabidopsis plants. These tests showed that a 98-bp 5' fragment containing the 22-bp inverted repeat and four c...

متن کاملA positive cis-acting DNA element is required for high-level transcription in Chlamydia.
The spacer A/T region is a positive cis-acting DNA element that was identified in the Chlamydia trachomatis rRNA promoter region. We have now demonstrated that similar sequences in other chlamydial promoters are important for transcription. Substitution of candidate spacer A/T regions in four chlamydial promoters decreased transcription by partially purified C. trachomatis RNA polymerase in an ...
متن کاملCutting edge: a cis-acting DNA element targets AID-mediated sequence diversification to the chicken Ig light chain gene locus.
Somatic hypermutation and gene conversion are two closely related processes that increase the diversity of the primary Ig repertoire. Both processes are initiated by the activation-induced cytidine deaminase that converts cytosine residues to uracils in a transcription-dependent manner; these lesions are subsequently fixed in the genome by direct replication and error-prone DNA repair. Two alte...
