Structural Basis of hAT Transposon End Recognition by Hermes, an Octameric DNA Transposase from Musca domestica
Hermes is a member of the hAT transposon superfamily that has active representatives, including McClintock's archetypal Ac mobile genetic element, in many eukaryotic species. The crystal structure of the Hermes transposase-DNA complex reveals that Hermes forms an octameric ring organized as a tetramer of dimers. Although isolated dimers are active in vitro for all the chemical steps of transpos...
متن کاملThe hermes transposon of Musca domestica is an efficient tool for the mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Currently, no transposon-based method for the mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe exists. We have developed such a system based on the introduction of the hermes transposon from the housefly into S. pombe. This system efficiently disrupts open reading frames and allows the insertion sites to be readily identified.
متن کاملMusca domestica L. in Malaysia
The tiny, spiny-legged rove beetle, Anotylus latiusculus (Kraatz) ernerged from house fiy puparium collected from a vegetable farm in the Carneron Highlands, Pahang. This beetle parasitoid, and microhymenepteran Spalangia are natural enemies of fiies. Spalangia spp. play important roles in regulating the fiy population in Malaysia. However, this role is doubtful for the spinylegged rove beetle ...
متن کاملHermes, a functional non-Drosophilid insect gene vector from Musca domestica.
Hermes is a short inverted repeat-type transposable element from the house fly, Musca domestica. Using an extra-chromosomal transpositional recombination assay, we show that Hermes elements can accurately transpose in M. domestica embryos. To test the ability of Hermes to function in species distantly related to M. domestica we used a nonautonomous Hermes element containing the Drosophila melan...
متن کاملEpidemiology of MdSGHV in Musca domestica
Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus (MdSGHV) is a disease that enlarges the salivary glands of Musca domestica (the common house fly), as well as causes infertility in female house flies. An infected female fly will no longer produce or lay eggs and will refuse a male’s mating attempts. Collaborating with the University of Florida’s Entomology and Nematology Department, we have hyp...
