We investigated a DNA fragment and its flanking region deleted in the spontaneous Pi-a virulent mutant of Magnaporthe grisea Ina168. A new transposon-like sequence was identified from a region adjacent to the deleted fragment and was named Ocean. Ocean contained a 2,259-bp ORF interrupted by one 63-bp intron and had both a TA dinucleotide and 77 bp of perfect inverted repeats at both termini, without direct repeats. These features indicated that Ocean is a member of the Fot1 family. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the expression of the putative transposase and the presence of an intron. Southern analysis of pulse-field gel electrophoresis-separated chromosomes indicated that Ocean was dispersed in all chromosomes of the rice pathogen, Ina168. Copy numbers of Ocean were also preserved in a host-specific manner amongst M. grisea isolates. In particular, rice pathogens contained a large number of the element inserted into their genome. Phylogenetic analysis with other known members of the Fot1 family revealed that Ocean was dissimilar to any other known elements and it is thus proposed that Ocean be separated to a new subfamily.
