21 What s in the non protein coding part of the genome?

22 Reverse transcriptase! HIV1 reverse transcriptase 834 hits! Similarity search against human genome (HIV negative person)

23 Matches for RT are not inside genes

24 A genomic parasite (or transposon) replicating Individual human cell

25 If replication occurs in a reproductive cell it can be passed to subsequent generations Insertions now represent a new mutation in the human population.

26 Genomes full of parasites genome transposon content chicken 8.5% mouse 38% human 46% wheat 68%

27 How a LINE transposon works RNA intermediate Host encoded rna polymerase Host encoded ribosome LINE encoded endonuclease / reverse transcriptase together with RNA intermediate Reverse transcriptase copies RNA into DNA and puts in new location Endonuclease makes DNA break in new location

28 SINEs parasitize LINEs RNA intermediate SINE RNA does not code for protein. Hijacks LINE endonuclease / reverse transcriptase

29 Most transposon insertions are neutral

30 Occasionally transposon insertions are deleterious: hemophilia example Normal allele Disease allele with SINE insertion Blowup of 14 th exon F8 gene codes for blood coagulation factor SINE insertion causes premature stop codon Homozygotes for disease allele have hemophilia

31 Very occasionally transposon insertions can be beneficial VDJ recombination Transcription + translation RAG

32 RAG originated from a DNA editing enzyme carried by a transposon Kapitonov VV, Jurka J (2005) RAG1 Core and V(D)J Recombination Signal Sequences Were Derived from Transib Transposons. PLoS Biol 3(6): e181. doi: /journal.pbio

33 Consider a LINE transposon insertion into a non-functional region of the genome. This insertion occurred before the divergence of human and mouse. Imagine we obtain the sequence for this transposon from human and mouse, and create an alignment between the reverse transcriptase DNA sequence in each. What would you expect the Ka/Ks ratio to be in this sequence? Explain. Ancestral transposon insertion Human Mouse

34 Consider a LINE transposon insertion into a non-functional region of the genome. This insertion occurred before the divergence of human and mouse. Imagine we obtain the sequence for this transposon from human and mouse, and create an alignment between the reverse transcriptase DNA sequence in each. What would you expect the Ka/Ks ratio to be in this sequence? Explain. Ancestral transposon insertion Human Mouse An insertion in a non-functional region is likely to be neither deleterious or advantageous. Thus we would expect no selection at all, and a Ka/Ks ratio of about 1.

35 Practical uses of transposons: provide neutral sequence as a baseline for comparative studies
