摘要

The first Microuli element, Microuli-Aal, was discovered as a 209-bp insertion in the 5' long terminal repeat of a retrotransposon named Mosqcopia-Aa2 (unpublished data, GenBank AY009101) in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. As shown in figure lA, the Microuli insertion resulted in a TTAA target duplication, indicating past mobility of the element. To further characterize this mobile element, we screened an A. aegypti genomic library, using a digoxigenin-labeled singlestranded DNA probe generated by asymmetric PCR using the entire Microuli-Aal as the template. The library construction, probe labeling, and library screening procedures were as previously described (Tu 2000). The final washing stringency was 0.5 X SSC with 0.1 percent SDS at 55 deg C, which allows approximately 15 percent-25 percent mismatch (Meinkoth and Wahl 1984). Because 462 positive plaques were identified among 64,000 total plaques screened, it was estimated using a previously described calculation method (Tu 2000) that there were approximately 3,000 copies of Microuli per haploid genome. The entire inserts of three positive genomic clones isolated during the above screening experiment were sequenced and deposited in GenBank (AY009102-AY009104). The boundaries of Microuli elements were deduced based on sequence comparisons between the four genomic clones. As shown in figure lB, three of the four elements have the same termini and are flanked by putative TTAA target duplications. There were no sequence similarities between these Microuli clones out-side the TTAA target duplications. Although we cannot determine the extent of the diversity of Microuli elements based on the analysis of four elements, the evidence of insertion, sequence and size homogeneity between three out of the four copies, and the conservation of putative target duplications suggest that Microuli has been an intact unit of transposition which has generated a large number of copies.
