Nucleotide sequence and characteristics of a Ty element from yeast.
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a complete yeast Ty element (Ty-pY109) which is located near a tRNA(Lys1) gene. The element is 5912 bp in length; the internal domain is flanked by two identical delta sequences of 331 bp. Ty-pY109 contains two large open reading frames (ORFs) which overlap by 38 bp; the putative proteins consist of 440 and 1328 amino acid residues, respectively. Th...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of a yeast Ty element: evidence for an unusual mechanism of gene expression.
We have determined the DNA sequence of the transposable element Ty912 of yeast. The 5918-base-pair element encodes two genes, tya912 and tyb912, which specify proteins similar to sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins of Escherichia coli and retroviral reverse transcriptases, respectively. The tyb912 gene is atypical of eukaryotic genes since (i) it begins 1336 nucleotides into the Ty912 mRNA (...
متن کاملVariants within the yeast Ty sequence family encode a class of structurally conserved proteins.
The Ty transposable elements of Saccharomyces cerevisiae form a heterogeneous family within which two broad structural classes (I and II) exist. The two classes differ by two large substitutions and many restriction sites. We show that, like class I elements a class II element, Tyl-17, also appears to contain at least two major protein coding regions, designated TYA and TYB, and the organisatio...
متن کاملYeast genome analysis identifies chromosomal translocation, gene conversion events and several sites of Ty element insertion
Paired end mapping of chromosomal fragments has been used in human cells to identify numerous structural variations in chromosomes of individuals and of cancer cell lines; however, the molecular, biological and bioinformatics methods for this technology are still in development. Here, we present a parallel bioinformatics approach to analyze chromosomal paired-end tag (ChromPET) sequence data an...
متن کاملExpression strategies of the yeast retrotransposon Ty: a short sequence directs ribosomal frameshifting.
The Ty element of yeast is a member of a class of eukaryotic transposons which bear a striking resemblance to retroviral proviruses in their structure and expression strategies (1,2). A direct comparison can be drawn between the production of a fusion protein encoded by Ty, resulting from a frameshift event which fuses two out-of-phase open reading frames TYA and TYB, and the production of Pr18...
