Mobile genetic elements are widely spread across the genomes of plants and animals. Of them, retrotransposons occupy substantial part of the genome. They had a huge impact on host genome evolution. However, their current activity in plant cell is thought to be very low on both RNA and cDNA (mobilome) levels because multiple silencing pathways. To get deeper insight into the mechanisms of mobilome formation we carried out identification of transcribed TEs of model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Using bioinformatics and ‘wet’ approaches we found evidence of expression of 6 TEs of A.thaliana. This opens a door for further functional studies of how some TEs can overcome the genome defense against retrotransposon activity.

Auxin has a crucial influence on genes expression. In this work, we show that transcriptional activity of an auxin-sensitive gene MAKR4 (MEMBRANE ASSOSIATED KINASE REGULATOR 4) depends on the composite elements in its upstream regulatory region. Analysis of such elements could clarify the understanding of the regulation of this gene and other auxin-sensitive genes.

In the nuclear genome of Arabidopsis thaliana some cas genes and CRISPR cassettes were found by in silico methods. It is hypothesized that CRISPR-Cas-like elements appeared in plant genome as a result of endosymbiosis of ancient alphaproteobacteria.
