Structural schematic of IT transposons. a Structural organization of IT elements. The green arrows represent TIRs, the black rectangles represent HTH motifs, the black triangles represent GRPR sequences, the yellow circle represents the NLS, the orange rectangles represent catalytic domains, and the grey regions represent transposases. The dotted box represents the portion of the transposases that might be deleted in a particular species. b IT in the “cat” genome. The grey areas at the top and bottom represent IT. We selected copies 1 and 2 to mark the locations in this genome. In the middle is a schematic diagram of the complete IT structure. The red arrows represent TIRs, the green rectangle represents the DNA-binding domain, and the orange rectangle represents the catalytic domain. c Motifs prediction for IT transposases. This analysis was performed using multiple alignment with Bioedit and with modifications in Genedoc. Species abbreviations: Cafl, Camponotus floridanus; Danaus plexippus plexippus; Hyvu, Hydra vulgaris; Rhma, Rhinella marina; Sedu, Seriola dumerili; Stpa, Stegastes partitus
