  • Title: Intact mariner-like element in tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
    Author: Ren X, Park Y, Miller TA.
    Journal: Insect Mol Biol; 2006 Dec; 15(6):743-8. PubMed ID: 17201767.
    Abstract:
    An intact mariner-like element was isolated from the genome of tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens. This is the first report of an intact mariner element after the initial identification of Mos1 from Drosophila mauritiana. The full-length Hvmar1 has 30 bp inverted terminal repeats and a complete 1065 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding the transposase with a 'D,D(34)D' motif in the catalytic domain. Polymerase chain reaction results show that at least one insertion of the Hvmar1 element is conserved in this Heliothis strain. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that Hvmar1 belongs to the irritans subfamily.
