Abstract:
Chapaev3-1_AA belongs to the Chapaev3 group of the Chapaev superfamily of DNA transposons (see comments on Chapaev3-1_PM). Chapaev3-1_AA is a young family of mosquito Chapaev3 transposons: genomic copies of Chapae3-1_AA elements are ~98.7% identical to their consensus sequence, which was derived from multiple alignment of four Chapaev3-1_AA elements. Chapaev3-1_AA contains imperfect 1300-bp terminal inverted repeats and encodes a 574-aa transposase. This family is an outgroup among identified Chapaev3 transposons: the Chapaev3 TPase is only 35-39% identical to other Chapaev3 transposases.
