Abstract: Chapaev-5_HM is a very young family of autonomous Chapaev DNA transposons that can be still active in the hydra genome (they are <0.4% divergent from their consensus sequence). The consensus sequence was obtained based on a multiple alignment of 25 copies; it codes for a 687-aa Chapaev transposase. Chapaev-5_HM is characterized by 4-bp target site duplications and 141-bp terminal inverted repeats. Based on the TPase identities, Chapaev-5_HM forms a distinctive group together with Chapaev-1_HM and Chapaev-2_HM. The N-terminal portion of this group TPase contains a Chapa-like zinc finger (H-X7-C-X2-C-X35-C-X2-C-x36/38-C-X2-C) but is free of the RING finger motif.
