Stowaway: A New Family of Inverted Repeat Elements Associated with the Genes of Both Monocotyledonous and Dicotyledonous Plants

Members of a new inverted repeat element family, named Stowaway, have been
found in close association with more than 40 monocotyledonous and
dicotyledonous plant genes listed in the GenBank and EMBL nucleic acid data
bases. Stowaway elements are characterized by a conserved terminal inverted
repeat, small size, target site specificity (TA), and potential to form
stable DNA secondary structures. Some elements are located at the extreme
3[prime] ends of sequenced cDNAs and supply polyadenylation signals to
their host genes. Other elements are in the 5[prime] upstream regions of
several genes and appear to contain previously identified cis-acting
regulatory domains. Although the Stowaway elements share many structural
features with the recently discovered Tourist elements, the two families
share no significant sequence similarity. Together, the Stowaway and
Tourist families serve to define an important new class of short inverted
repeat elements found in possibly all flowering plant genomes.
