Structural features of nonautonomous Muta1 elements used in this study. Muta1NA1 through Muta1NA5 are natural elements; Muta1AR and Muta1His are artificial. Element lengths and internal sequences are indicated. Black arrowheads represent the TIRs, which include the terminal palindromic motif (open arrow) and subterminal tandem repeats (solid arrows). Gray shaded regions are sequences derived from Muta1; colored regions of each element indicate the diverse origin of internal sequences. Excision frequencies from the ADE2 reporter in yeast assays are on the right
