Aeromonas species isolated from aquatic organisms, insects, chicken, and humans in India show similar antimicrobial resistance profiles

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Aeromonas species are Gram-negative bacteria that infect various living organisms and are ubiquitously found in different aquatic environments. In this study, we used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to identify and compare the antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

Metaproteomics Reveals Abundant Transposase Expression in Mutualistic Endosymbionts

mBio, 2013
Transposases, enzymes that catalyze the movement of mobile genetic elements, are the most abundant genes in nature. While many bacteria encode an abundance of transposases in their genomes, the current paradigm is that the expression of transposase genes

Identification and characterization of repetitive extragenic palindromes (REP)-associated tyrosine transposases: implications for REP evolution and dynamics in bacterial genomes

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Bacterial repetitive extragenic palindromes (REPs) compose a distinct group of genomic repeats. They usually occur in high abundance (>100 copies/genome) and are often arranged in composite repetitive structures - bacterial interspersed mosaic

Multiple massive domestication and recent amplification of Kolobok superfamily transposons in the clawed frog Xenopus

Zoological Letters, 2018
Background DNA transposons are generally destroyed by mutations and have short lifespans in hosts, as they are neutral or harmful to the host and therefore not conserved by natural selection.

New insight into the microbiome, resistome, and mobilome on the dental waste water in the context of heavy metal environment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
ObjectHospital sewage have been associated with incorporation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) into microbes, which is considered as a key indicator for the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Six domesticated PiggyBac transposases together carry out programmed DNA elimination in Paramecium

eLife, 2018
The domestication of transposable elements has repeatedly occurred during evolution and domesticated transposases have often been implicated in programmed genome rearrangements, as remarkably illustrated in ciliates.

How to kill the honey bee larva: genomic potential and virulence mechanisms of Paenibacillus larvae.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Paenibacillus larvae, a Gram positive bacterial pathogen, causes American Foulbrood (AFB), which is the most serious infectious disease of honey bees. In order to investigate the genomic potential of P.

Tn5 Transposase

, 2023
Tn5 Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the end of a transposon and catalyzes its movement to another part of the genome by a cut-and-paste mechanism or a "replicative transposition mechanism. Genes encoding transposases are widespreadthe most abundant in the genomes of most organisms and are the most abundant genes known.
