title: An active nonautonomous mobile element in Sulfolobus islandicus REN1H1.
abstract: In the crenarchaeote Sulfolobus islandicus REN1H1, a mobile element of 321 bp length has been shown to be active. It does not contain terminal inverted repeats and transposes by a replicative mechanism. This newly discovered element has been named SMN1 (for Sulfolobus miniature noninverted repeat transposable element).
