Abstract: TRANSIB1_AG is a family of DNA transposons that belongs to the TRANSIB superfamily originally identified in Drosophila (see description of TRANSIB1-TRANSIB4 in drorep.ref). Members of this superfamily encode the TRANSIB-like DNA transposase and generate 5-bp target site duplications. The TRANSIB1_AG consensus sequence was reconstructed based on multiple alignment of several copies of this transposon identified in the sequenced portion of the genome. Given the ~2% divergence of these copies from the consensus sequence, transposition of TRANSIB1_AG occurred recently (in the last 1 Myr). TRANSIB1_AG has 9-bp terminal inverted repeats. The consensus sequence encodes a 708-aa TRANSIB1_AGp transposase (positions 1539-3665). TRANSIB1_AGp is 29% identical to the TRANSIB2p transposase encoded by TRANSIB2 from D. melanogaster. The A. gambiae genome harbors several families of TRANSIB-like DNA transposons.
