The present report describes the use of computer analyses to reveal a hobo-like element in the genome of Caenorhabditis elegans. This hobo-like sequence is 3039 bp long, contains two inverted terminal repeats of 25-27 bp and probably does not encoded a functional transposase. Sequence comparisons suggest that each transposase of hobo elements probably has a D(D/S)E motif. Thus the transposases of the hAT superfamily of transposons appear to be close to the other transposases and intregrases.
本报告描述了利用计算机分析在秀丽隐杆线虫基因组中发现一种类hobo元件。这种类hobo序列长3039 bp，包含两个25 - 27 bp的反向末端重复序列，可能不编码功能性转座酶。序列比较表明，hobo元件的每个转座酶可能都有一个D(D/S)E基序。因此，转座子hAT超家族的转座酶似乎与其他转座酶和整合酶关系密切。
