  • Title: Computer analyses reveal a hobo-like element in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which presents a conserved transposase domain common with the Tc1-Mariner transposon family.

    Journal: Gene; 1996 Oct 03; 174(2):265-71. PubMed ID: 8890745.
    Abstract:
    The present report describes the use of computer analyses to reveal a hobo-like element in the genome of Caenorhabditis elegans. This hobo-like sequence is 3039 bp long, contains two inverted terminal repeats of 25-27 bp and probably does not encoded a functional transposase. Sequence comparisons suggest that each transposase of hobo elements probably has a D(D/S)E motif. Thus the transposases of the hAT superfamily of transposons appear to be close to the other transposases and intregrases.
