Intergenic Transposable Elements Are Not Randomly Distributed in Bacteria
Insertion sequences (ISs) are mobile genetic elements in bacterial genomes. In general, intergenic IS elements are probably less deleterious for their hosts than intragenic ISs, simply because they have a lower likelihood of disrupting native genes. However, since promoters, Shine-Dalgarno sequences, and transcription factor binding sites are intergenic and upstream of genes, I hypothesized tha...
متن کاملTransposable elements and fitness of bacteria.
A stochastic model was designed to describe the evolution of bacterial cultures during 10,000 generations. It is based on a decreasing law for the generation of beneficial mutations as they become fixed in the genomes. Seven beneficial mutations on average were necessary to improve the relative fitness from 1.0 to 1.43 and the model was consistent with the population biology and the genetic dat...
متن کاملCompetition between transposable elements and mutator genes in bacteria.
Although both genotypes with elevated mutation rate (mutators) and mobilization of insertion sequence (IS) elements have substantial impact on genome diversification, their potential interactions are unknown. Moreover, the evolutionary forces driving gradual accumulation of these elements are unclear: Do these elements spread in an initially transposon-free bacterial genome as they enable rapid...
متن کاملThe large majority of intergenic sites in bacteria are selectively constrained, even when known regulatory elements are excluded
There are currently no broad estimates of the overall strength and direction of selection operating on intergenic variation in bacteria. Here we address this using large whole genome sequence datasets representing six diverse bacterial species; Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica , Streptococcus pneumoniae , Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Mycobacterium tuberc...
متن کاملTransposable elements (TEs) contribute to stress-related long intergenic noncoding RNAs in plants.
Noncoding RNAs have been extensively described in plant and animal transcriptomes by using high-throughput sequencing technology. Of these noncoding RNAs, a growing number of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been described in multicellular organisms, however the origins and functions of many lincRNAs remain to be explored. In many eukaryotic genomes, transposable elements (TEs) ar...
