Abstract:
This is a young family of nonautonomous P DNA transposons identified in the Trichomonas vaginalis genome. The consensus was derived from multiple alignment of ~300 copies of P-1N1_TV, which are less than ~1% divergent from each other. P-1N1_TV is a nonautonomous DNA transposon transposed by the autonomous P-1_TV. The 923-bp P-1N1_TV is almost 100% identical to a deletion product of P-1_TV (after deletion of its internal region at pos 289-8380). TIRs are 20-bp long (4 mismatches). The genome contains over 300 copies of P-1N1_TV, which are 0.4% divergent from the consensus. Some copies are 100% identical to each other. Therefore, it is likely that P-1_TV and P-1N1_TV are still active transposons.
