The repetitive element Rep MP 1 of Mycoplasma pneumoniae exists as a core element within a larger, variable repetitive mosaic.
The repetitive element Rep MP 1 has been previously described as a 300-bp element present within the chromosome of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in at least 10 copies. Sequence found flanking Rep MP 1 in lambda clone 5B52 has been demonstrated to exist in multiple copies within the genome of M. pneumoniae. A HindIII M. pneumoniae fragment containing the lambda MP 5B52 insert and its flanking sequences ...
متن کاملGenomic analysis reveals Mycoplasma pneumoniae repetitive element 1-mediated recombination in a clinical isolate.
Mycoplasmas are cell wall-less bacteria that evolved by drastic reduction of the genome size. Complete genome analysis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae revealed the presence of numerous copies of four distinct large M. pneumoniae repetitive elements (RepMPs). One copy each of RepMP2/3, RepMP4, and RepMP5 are localized within the P1 operon (MPN140 to MPN142 loci), and their involvement in sequence varia...
متن کاملTissue-specific developmental expression of OAX, a Xenopus repetitive element
Approximately 1% of the Xenopus laevis genome consists of highly repetitive DNA known alternatively as OAX (for Oocyte Activation in Xenopus), Satellite I, or Repetitive HindIII Monomer 2. Present as tandemly repeated units of approximately 750 base pairs, OAX encodes a family of small RNA species transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Although the subject of many of the classic studies on early em...
متن کاملTranscriptional "silencer" element in rat repetitive sequences
The enhancer elements from either simian virus 40 or murine sarcoma virus activate the expression of a transfected rat insulin 1 (r11) gene when placed within 2.0 kilobases or less of the rl1 gene cap site. Inclusion of 4.0 kilobases of upstream r11 sequence, however, results in a substantial reduction in the enhancer-dependent insulin gene expression. These observations suggested that a negati...
متن کاملSERE, a widely dispersed bacterial repetitive DNA element.
The presence of a Salmonella serotype Enteritidis repeat element (SERE) located within the upstream regulatory region of the sefABCD operon encoding fimbrial proteins is reported. DNA dot-blot hybridisation analyses and computerised searches of genetic databases indicate that SERE is well conserved and widely distributed throughout the bacterial and archaeal kingdoms. A SERE-based polymerase ch...
