摘要

We investigated the ability of the transposable element Tc1 to excise from the genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans var. Bristol N2. Our results show that in the standard lab strain (Bristol), Tc1 excision occurred at a high frequency, comparable to that seen in the closely related Bergerac strain BO. We examined excision in the following way. We used a unique sequence flanking probe (pCeh29) to investigate the excision of Tc1s situated in the same location in both strains. Evidence of high-frequency excision from the genomes of both strains was observed. The Tc1s used in the first approach, although present in the same location in both genomes, were not known to be identical. Thus, a second approach was taken, which involved the genetic manipulation of a BO variant, Tc1(Hin). The ability of this BO Tc1(Hin) to excise was retained after its introduction into the N2 genome. Thus, we conclude that excision of Tc1 from the Bristol genome occurs at a high frequency and is comparable to that of Tc1 excision from the Bergerac genome. We showed that many Tc1 elements in N2 were apparently functionally intact and were capable of somatic excision. Even so, N2 Tc1s were prevented from exhibiting the high level of heritable transposition displayed by BO elements. We suggest that Bristol Tc1 elements have the ability to transpose but that transposition is heavily repressed in the gonadal tissue.
