description | Retroelement integration into host genomes affects chromosome structure and function. A goal of a considerable number of investigations is to elucidate features influencing insertion site selection. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ty3 retrotransposon inserts proximal to the transcription start sites (TSS) of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III (RNAP3). In this study, differential patterns of insertion were profiled genome-wide using a random barcode-tagged Ty3. Saturation transposition showed that tRNA genes (tDNAs) are targeted at widely different frequencies even within isoacceptor families. Ectopic expression of Ty3 integrase (IN) showed that it localized to targets independent of other Ty3 proteins and cDNA. IN, RNAP3, and transcription factor Brf1 were enriched at tDNA targets with high frequencies of transposition. To examine potential effects of cis-acting DNA features on transposition, targeting was tested on high-copy plasmids with restricted amounts of 5′ flanking sequence plus tDNA. Relative activity of targets was reconstituted in these constructions. Weighting of genomic insertions according to frequency identified an A/T-rich sequence followed by C as the dominant site of strand transfer. This site lies immediately adjacent to the adenines previously implicated in the RNAP3 TSS motif (CAA). In silico DNA structural analysis upstream of this motif showed that targets with elevated DNA curvature coincide with reduced integration. We propose that integration mediated by the Ty3 intasome complex (IN and cDNA) is subject to inputs from a combination of host factor occupancy and insertion site architecture, and that this results in the wide range of Ty3 targeting frequencies. |
