A discrete piece of DNA that can insert itself into other DNA sequences within the cell. The ends of the transposon DNA are usually inverted repeats.

(= transposable element) Small, mobile DNA sequences that can replicate and insert copies at random sites within chromosomes. They have nearly identical sequences at each end, oppositely oriented (inverted) repeats, and code for the enzyme, transposase, that catalyses their insertion. Bacteria have two types of transposon; simple transposons that have only the genes needed for insertion, and complex transposons that contain genes in addition to those needed for insertion. Eukaryotes contain two classes of mobile genetic elements; the first are like bacterial transposons in that DNA sequences move directly. The second class (retrotransposons) move by producing RNA that is transcribed, by reverse transcriptase, into DNA which is then inserted at a new site.

Type: Term Pronunciation: tranz-pō′son Definitions: 1. A segment of DNA (an R-factor gene) that has a repeat of an insertion sequence element at each end that can migrate from one plasmid to another within the same bacterium, to a bacterial chromosome, or to a bacteriophage; the mechanism of transposition seems to be independent of the h...

Transposon: A short mobile DNA sequence that can replicate and of which copies can be inserted at random sites within chromosomes. A transposon has almost identical sequences at each end and inverted repeat sequences (that run in the opposite direction). It codes for the enzyme, transposase, that catalyses its insert in the chromosome.
