Ilyina, T. S

Data on miniature repetitive transposable elements containing inverted repeat sequences and a number of DNA motifs, such as host factor integration sites, transcription initiation boxes, as well as transcribed and translated open reading frames, are discussed in the present review. The features of these elements and their possible role in the regulation of gene activity, as well as the creation of new genes and modified and new proteins, are reviewed based on the example of different groups of bacteria.
