Department of Biochemistry, University of Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany

Received 10 October 2006/ Accepted 26 November 2006

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).
