Figure 1

Basic structure of the major TEs found in the C. heterostrophus race O genome. In 1, the representatives of class I, superfamily Gypsy (A), superfamily Copia (B), superfamily I (C) and superfamily R2 (D), with their respective coding regions and structural characteristics, are shown. The pol region contains the PR (protease), RT (reverse transcriptase), RH (RnaseH) and IN (integrase) domains. ORF2 of superfamily I includes APE (apurinic endonuclease), RT (reverse transcriptase) and RH (RNaseH) domains, while TEs of superfamily R2 have only one ORF with RT (reverse transcriptase) and RH (RNaseH) domains. In 2, elements representative of class II, from the superfamily Tc1-Mariner (E), are shown. In 3, non-autonomous elements known as TRIMs (F) and MITEs (G) are shown. LTRs (Long Terminal Repeats) are represented by large arrows and TIRs (Terminal Inverted Repeats) by smaller arrows.
