Precise integration of Helitrons into the host AT target sites. Six insertion cases of Helitrons (red) into different transposons (green) are shown separately. Two copies of ATREP1, two copies of Helitrony3_CE, and single copies of Helitrony2_CE and ATREP9 are inserted into copies of the ATTIRX1D, ATHATN1, PAL5A_CE, LTR2_CE, PALTTAA1_CE, and ATREP10 transposons, respectively. The consensus sequences of the elements harboring Helitrons are marked by the bold black letters and are described in the A. thaliana and C. elegans sections of Repbase Update at www.girinst.org/Repbase_Update.html. Consensus sequences of the corresponding Helitrons are marked in blue. Asterisks, semicolons, and dots indicate identical nucleotide positions, transitions, and transversions, respectively. Only termini of Helitrons are shown. Black, green, and blue numbers show positions in the consensus sequences of the harboring transposons, GenBank, and Helitron consensus sequences, respectively.
