    Transposable elements in Caedibacter taeniospiralis plasmids show shared homology. These elements, 1.5- and 7.5-kilobase-pair (kbp), are found in new locations within different bacterial strains.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Genetics
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Caedibacter taeniospiralis harbors R-body-coding plasmids.
    • Transposonlike sequences are known genetic elements within these plasmids.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the homology between 1.5- and 7.5-kilobase-pair (kbp) transposonlike sequences in C. taeniospiralis R-body-coding plasmids.
    • To identify the locations of these elements in new and existing strains.

    Main Methods:

    • Sequence homology analysis of plasmid DNA.
    • Characterization of R-body-coding plasmids from different C. taeniospiralis strains.

    Main Results:

    • The 1.5- and 7.5-kbp transposonlike sequences within the R-body-coding plasmids of C. taeniospiralis exhibit homology.

  • New strains (169 and A30) show these elements inserted at novel positions.
  • Homology to the 7.5-kbp sequence was also found in the chromosomes of other C. taeniospiralis strains.

    • Conclusions:

    • The studied transposonlike sequences are related and can integrate at various genomic locations.
    • This suggests potential mobility and shared evolutionary origins of these genetic elements in C. taeniospiralis.
