Figure S1 - The bandit, a New DNA Transposon from a Hookworm��Possible Horizontal Genetic Transfer between Host and Parasite

Consensus nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the entire bandit element. Sequence features of the bandit are indicated within duplicated TA dinucleotides. The inverted repeats at both ends are highlighted with green. The ORF starts at the Met encoded at nt. 189 and terminates at the stop codon at nt. 117, encoding an enzyme of 342 amino acid residues. Two conserved hallmark motifs of mariner-like elements [38] are highlighted with grey and the catalytic triad DD34D residues are indicated by red colored font. (0.03 MB DOC)
