INTRODUCTION: Transposons are section of the genome that undergo
transposition with in the genome. Discovered by Barbara McClintock in corn in 1940. They are known as transposable elements, mobile
sequence, movable sequence, insertion elements, jumping elements or selfish DNA.
Later in 1960 bacteria and bacteriophages were shown to posses TE.

CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF MECHANISM OF TRANSPOSITION
![Page 4: TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58ecea041a28ab32138b45c1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CLASS 1: Insertional sequence were the first
transposable elements identified as spontaneous insertion in some bacteria operon.
They encode for transposase and are short about 800 – 1500 base pair.
IS carry the genetic information necessary for their transposition .
Cut and paste mechanism. There are different IS such as IS1, IS2, IS3, IS4.

CLASS 2 : - These are called retrotransposon. - Use the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then make a copy of DNA and then inserted into the genome in new position. - Behave like retrovirus such as HIV - Copy and paste mechanism - Inverted repeats are present on either side.

(A) COMPOSITE TRANSPOSONS Carry genes (ex. Gene for antibiotic resistance) flanked on both
sides by IS elements. Tn10 is 9.3 kb in size includes 6.5 kb of central DNA (includes
a gene for tetracycline resistance) and 1.4 kb inverted IS element.
IS element supply transposase and ITR recognition signals.

(B)NONCOMPOSITE TRANSPOSONS
Carry genes ( ex. Antibiotic resistance) but do not terminate with IS elements.
Ends are not IS element repeated sequence.
Tn3 is kb with 38 bp ITRs and includes 3 genes; β-lactamase, tnpA (transposase) and tnpB (resolvase).

EXAMPLES OF TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS
Ac-Ds system in MAIZE P Element in Drosophila LINEs and SINEs in Human
![Page 12: TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58ecea041a28ab32138b45c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ac-Ds element Ac stands for activator and Ds for dissociation
element. Both were located on chromosome 9. Transposition of Ds element altered kernel
coloration. Movement of Ds element requires activity of Ac
element that codes transposases. Ac element is 4563 bp long and its structure is
similar to that of bacterial transposons.

P Element Most significant transposable element found in
drosophila Range from 0.5 to 2.9 kb long , with 31 bp ITRs. They encode two protein ,one is transposase
enzyme that activate transposition and another is a repressor that inhibit transposition.
If P elements inserts into the coding region , it can terminate transcription ,in introns affect splicing.
If inserts into the promoter region, it affect the level of gene expression.

LONG INTERSPREAD OR SHORT INTERSPREAD ELEMENTS
LINEs accounts for 21% of human genome and about 6kb pairs in length.
SINEs accounts for 13% of human genome and are about 100-500bp long.
Most human transposons appear to be inactive but several mutation lead to their activation.
LINE inserted into the human dystrophin gene have result in Duchene muscular dystrophy.
LINE inserted into the APC and c-myc genes leading to mutation and cause development of some colon or breast cancer.

Conti….. A type of SINE called Alu elements integrated into
the BRCA2 gene and inactivate this tumor- suppresser gene and lead to breast cancer.

Potential effect of transposons on the genome-

APPLICATION OF TE -Use as cloning vehicle.
-Provide raw material for evolution.
-Drug resistance transposones are useful in development of plasmid as cloning vehicles.
--Use of transposones to increase the rate of mutation due to insertional inactivation.
