Comments

HeT-A and TART-element, previously considered to be closely related, have very different transcriptional characteristics. Additionally, features of TART-element sequence organisation resemble those of a subclass of non-LTR elements characterized by unequal terminal repeats. The distinctive transcription patterns of HeT-A and TART-element are conserved in D.yakuba.

(Danilevskaya et al., 1999)

Comparison of integrase/transposase domains to new elements containing the DDE signature.

(Capy et al., 1997)

HeT-A element and TART-element may be evolutionarily related to telomerase, in both cases an enzyme extends the end of a chromosome by adding DNA copied from an RNA template.

(Pardue et al., 1997)

TART-element encodes two proteins that have significant sequence homology to LINE-like retrotransposons. TART-elements preferentially transpose to broken chromosome ends as part of the essential process of maintaining telomeres.

(Sheen and Levis, 1994)

A transposon family of non-long terminal repeat retrotransposons found at the telomere. Evidence suggests that they can transpose to natural chromosome ends.

construct_comment: Associated with telomeres.

(FlyBase, 1992-)

TART-element may play a role in maintaining telomeres.
