Abstract:
Tc1-1_DR is an ancient family of Tc1 transposons that was active in the zebrafish genome more than 10 million years ago. The zebrafish genome harbors several thousand copies of Tc1-1_DR elements that are ~85% identical to their consensus sequences; all copies are severely damaged by mutations. The Tc1-1_DR consensus sequence encodes the 340-aa Tc1-1_DRp transposase (pos. 376-1395). Tc1-1_DR elements are characterized by the TA target site duplications and 210-bp terminal inverted repeats. The Tc1-1_DR consensus sequence is ~90% identical to Tc1 elements present in frogs (TXr from Xenopus laevis, Prince from Rana pipiens). Presumably, independent multiple events of horizontal transfer were involved in evolution of these transposons in vertebrates.
