Detection and analysis of transpositionally active head-to-tail dimers in three additional Escherichia coli IS elements.
This study demonstrates that Escherichia coli insertion elements IS3, IS150 and IS186 are able to form transpositionally active head-to-tail dimers which show similar structure and transpositional activity to the dimers of IS2, IS21 and IS30. These structures arise by joining of the left and right inverted repeats (IRs) of two elements. The resulting junction includes a spacer region (SR) of a ...
متن کاملTCUP: A Novel hAT Transposon Active in Maize Tissue Culture
Transposable elements (TEs) are capable of inducing heritable de novo genetic variation. The sequences capable of reactivation, and environmental factors that induce mobilization, remain poorly defined even in well-studied genomes such as maize. We treated maize tissue culture with the demethylating agent 5-aza-2-deoxcytidine and examined long-term tissue culture lines to discover silenced TEs ...
متن کاملA transpositionally and transcriptionally competent Alu subfamily.
DNA base sequence comparisons indicate that a subfamily of recently transposed human Alu repeats are distinguished from most Alu repeats by diagnostic sequence differences. Using an oligonucleotide hybridization probe that incorporates these sequence features, we found that there was an expansion of this Alu subfamily following the divergence of humans and African apes. This oligonucleotide was...
متن کاملAn active transposable element, Herves, from the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae.
Transposable elements have proven to be invaluable tools for genetically manipulating a wide variety of plants, animals, and microbes. Some have suggested that they could be used to spread desirable genes, such as refractoriness to Plasmodium infection, through target populations of Anopheles gambiae, thereby disabling the mosquito's ability to transmit malaria. To achieve this, a transposon mu...
متن کاملWer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual
Deutschland steht 2009 vor einem überaus schwierigen Jahr. Vorausschauende Manager schielen aber weniger auf die nicht beeinflussbaren Eckdaten, sondern finden heraus, welche Verbesserungspotenziale in ihrer Firma schlummern. Eine Alternative zu Cost-Cutting-Programmen kann die Optimierung des Projektmanagements sein. Ein kritischer Blick auf den Markt der dafür erforderlichen Projektmanagement...
