A new transposable element from the hobo, Ac, Tam3 transposon family was isolated as a genomic clone from the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis. It is approximately 3.1 kb in length with 19-bp inverted terminal repeat sequences having a single mismatch. Though sharing several amino acid sequence identities with other hAT elements, it is distantly related to both hobo and Ac. Among hAT elements thus far described in insects, it is apparently the most distantly related to hobo.
从东方果实蝇(Bactrocera dorsalis)中分离出一种来自hobo、Ac、Tam3转座子家族的新型转座元件,作为基因组克隆。它长度约为3.1 kb,具有19 bp的反向末端重复序列,有一个错配。虽然与其他hAT元件有几个氨基酸序列相同之处,但它与hobo和Ac的关系较远。在迄今为止昆虫中描述的hAT元件中,它显然与hobo的关系最远。
