Sequence alignment of the catalytic motifs of transposases (A) and end sequences (B) of plant TLEs. (A) The regions containing the DDE/D catalytic motifs of the transposase sequences. Plant MLEs are shown at the bottom. (B) The terminal sequences of plant TLEs and Tc 1. The degree of background shading indicates different levels of conservation of sequences. Asterisks indicate elements that only have one end present in a genomic contig.
