1
Diversity generating reverse transcriptase Reverse transcriptase an enzyme
2
Phage tail fiber Unknown protein Reverse transcriptase BPP Substitutions in action Directed by initiation of mutagenic homing
3
Alignment of BPP's VR vs TR
4
1 in every million replications
5
BIP BMP
6
Not great identity but similar function Phage Tail fiber Unidentified protein Reverse Transcriptase TR VR Same Downstream order as in bordetella phages
7
TR VS VR in VHML What does it do??????????????
8
Vibrio phage with similar reverse transcriptase Vibrio phage with similar sequence but no reverse transcriptase
9
Understanding Phylogeny and Predicting New Class III Inteins Mobile Elements
10
Inteins – What are they? IntronsInteins

Tori et al (2010). J Biol Chem 285:2515-2526 HX amino acid HO-… Serine HO-CH 3 -… Threonine HS-CH 3 -… Cysteine Classes of Inteins (per splicing mechanism) Begins with Ser, Thr, or Cys
12
Class IClass II Tori et al (2010). J Biol Chem 285:2515-2526 Classes of Inteins (per splicing mechanism) Begins with Ser, Thr, or Cys Doesn't begin with Ser, Thr, or Cys HX amino acid HO-… Serine HO-CH 3 -… Threonine HS-CH 3 -… Cysteine

Tori et al (2010). J Biol Chem 285:2515-2526 How to recognize classes by sequence characteristics? Class IClass IIClass III Classes of Inteins (per splicing mechanism) Begins with Ser, Thr, or Cys Doesn't begin with Ser, Thr, or Cys Uses embedded Ser, Thr, or Cys
15
Recognition by conserved amino acid residues.
16
Recognition by conserved motifs.
17
Certain inteins are more similar than others.
18
What about extien similarity? Known inteins ????????? DnaB Intein Jumped in here?

Farah Dahman Bioinformatics 301 MOBILE ELEMENTS EXISTENCE IN MYCOBACTERIOPHAGES
21
5′-TTATC[a/t]GGGGT- 3’ MPEME1 MPEME2 HOW TO KNOW IF MOBILE ELEMENT FOUND “Mycobacteriophages BPs, Angel and Halo: comparative genomics reveals a novel class of ultra-small mobile genetic elements.”
22
Phages studied: Cluster F (average length- 57,422bp) Fruit Loop, DotProduct, Ramsey, Yoshi, Boomer METHOD
23
Run mobile element sequence through biobike into each bacteriophage TTATC[a/t]GGGGT Find closest match METHOD
24
Exact matches found in FruitLoop, Boomer, Yoshi Each has some form of end part of sequence, but not the TTAT piece Relatively close proximity of match within sequence compared to others Phages of Cluster F do share the same ultra small mobile elements
25
SAME 438 NUCLEOTIDES BUT DIFFERENT COORDINATES
