Tourist: A Large Family of Small Inverted Repeat Elements Frequently Associated with Maize Genes
T. E. Bureau and S. R. Wessler
Botany Department, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602
The wx-B2 mutation results from a 128-bp transposable element-like
insertion in exon 11 of the maize Waxy gene. Surprisingly, 11 maize genes
and one barley gene in the GenBank and EMBL data bases were found to
contain similar elements in flanking or intron sequences. Members of this
previously undescribed family of elements, designated Tourist, are short
(133 bp on average), have conserved terminal inverted repeats, are flanked
by a 3-bp direct repeat, and display target site specificity. Based on
estimates of repetitiveness of three Tourist elements in maize genomic DNA,
the copy number of the Tourist element family may exceed that of all
previously reported eukaryotic inverted repeat elements. Taken together,
our data suggest that Tourist may be the maize equivalent of the human Alu
family of elements with respect to copy number, genomic dispersion, and the
high frequency of association with genes.
