Cartman, S. T. & Minton, N. P. A mariner-based transposon system for in vivo random mutagenesis of Clostridium difficile.
We have successfully adapted a Mariner-based transposon mutagenesis system to create highly-saturated mutant libraries in P. gingivalis.
piRNAs in C. elegans (also called 21U RNA) have been shown to silence Tc3 (a mariner-type DNA transposon), certain pseudogenes, and transgenes in the germline [ 56– 58].
One clone (Contig 1006, EY200559) shows 51% similarity to a transposase from Danio rerio (CAK05416), and contig 255 (EY199575) displays 50% similarity to a mariner-like transposase (2124399A).
Using BLASTP and the translated sequence from the 925 bp ORF as a query sequence, we identified hits with a partial homology to a Mariner-2_TCa transposase and to a mariner-like element transposase present in two other insects, the beetle Agrilus planipennis (emerald ash borer ) and Chrysoperla plorabunda (green lacewing; Neuroptera), but not to Mariner-1_ TCa transposase.
