Inverted repeats
A DNA or RNA sequence where the sequence of nucleotides along one a strand of DNA is repeated in the opposite physical direction along the other strand; inverted repeats are commonly separated by a tract of non-repeated DNA.

 


inverted repeat Identical adjacent nucleotide sequences in which one sequence is inverted with respect to the other.

Nucleotide with opposite orientation of the base sequence and mostly below 50 base pairs. IRs are components of IS elements.

The structure is two inverted repeats separating one small single copy and one large single copy. This structure is very similar in most plants, the size varies between 120 and 160 kb.

Long terminal repeats have inverted repeats, that is, sequences close to either end are identical when read in opposite directions.

Catabolite activator protein (CAP) The camp response protein; when bound to camp, CAP binds to an inverted repeated of the lac operon, near position -61 relative to the start site of transcription, to stimulate transcription.

The transposase gene is flanked on either side by fifteen to twenty-five base pairs, arranged as "inverted repeats." A composite transposon is composed of any gene sandwiched between two IS sequences; this entire unit will move.
