Abstract:
:TE146 is a giant transposon of Drosophila melanogaster. It carries two copies of the white and roughest genes, normally found on the X chromosome. The structure of this transposon has been studied at the molecular level. TE146 may transpose to new chromosome positions, excise and be lost from the genome or undergo internal rearrangements. The termini of TE146 are foldback DNA elements (FB); the transposon also carries two internal FB elements. Loss or internal rearrangement of TE146 involves recombination between different FB elements. These events have been mapped molecularly, by taking advantage of the fact that the FB sequences are composed largely of a regular 155-bp repeat sequence that is cut by the restriction enzyme TaqI, and are shown to be nonrandom. We suggest that these FB-FB exchange events occur by mitotic sister-chromatid exchange in the premeiotic germ line.
