Alignment of multiple CACTA transposon subterminal repeated motifs. The consensus sequences of subterminal repeated motifs were aligned to determine the degree of divergence. The Glycine max (Tgm) transposon motifs fell into two subfamilies: Tgm1 had 6 base changes (shown in red) compared to the consensus motif of the Tgmt* family (Tgmt*, Tgmw4m and Tgm-Express1). The consensus sequences of the Tgmt* family members were identical. These Tgm motifs were compared to other published CACTA transposon's subterminal repeats. Two rectangles were use to demark the sequence portions of the motifs with some similarity, a GC rich (left) and AT rich (right). These sequence motifs are domains for TNPA-like proteins binding.
