BMC Genomics 2006, 7:282 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/7/282 SFcigheumreat1ic representation of MGEs Schematic representation of MGEs. ORFs are represented by coloured blocks. Non-autonomous retrotransposons and mobile introns are not depicted here. Arrows represent flanking repeats. Table 1: InterPro and Pfam mobile genetic element signature domains identified in P. falciparum and P. y. yoelii. InterPro # (Pfam #) InterPro Description Plasmodium ORF IPR004244 (PF02994) IPR002104 (PF00589) IPR010998 IPR001207 (PF00872) IPR003611 (PF07460) IPR011940 IPR011941 Transposase_22/L1 element PY07579 (PORF1) Phage integrase catalytic domain MAL13P1.42 (hypothetical) PY04273 (hypothetical) Lambda phage integrase-like domain PY05943 (yir3 protein, putative), MAL13P1.42 (hypothetical), PY04273 (hypothetical) Transposase, mutator type PY07767 (transposase, mutator type) Intron-encoded nuclease 2 PFC0925w (hypothetical), PY00434 (hypothetical) Meiotic recombinase PY05593 (DNA repair protein rhp51), MAL8P1.76 (meiotic recombination protein dmc1-like) DNA repair protein rad51 PY03786 (rad51 homologue), PF11_0085 (rad51 homologue) Seven P. y. yoelii and four P. falciparum ORFs were identified. The ORFs MAL13P1.42 and PY04273 were duplicated by the two InterPro domains IPR002104 and IPR010998. Page 3 of 10 (page number not for citation purposes)
