Characterization and phylogenetic analyses of Tc4 elements. (A) Phylogenetic tree of Tc4 consensus sequences based on DDD catalytic domains identified in the R. varieornatus consensus sequences, highlighted in bold and orange, together with representative sequences extracted from the RepeatPeps library from nematodes (pink) and insects (green). All nodes received maximal support value. (B) Alignment of DDD catalytic domains of sequences included in phylogenetic analyses. Residues conserved in more than 80% of the sequences are colored. Arrows highlight catalytic DDD residues. Sequence logos of 5’ (C) and 3’ (D) ends of Tc4 elements used to curate the R. varieornatus consensus sequences. Black and purple arrows denote terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and target site duplications (TSDs), respectively. The purple dotted line marks the transposase cut on the CTNAG target site
