Long terminal repeat retrotransposons jump between species.
R are an evolutionarily ancient class of mobile genetic elements that transpose replicatively within their host genomes via RNA intermediates. There are three major retrotransposon groups, the Ty1-copia group and the gypsy group long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons and the non-LTR retrotransposons or LINE elements (ref. 1; Fig. 1). All three groups are widespread in the eukaryotes, altho...
متن کاملGenome-wide Annotation and Comparative Analysis of Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons between Pear Species of P. bretschneideri and P. Communis
Recent sequencing of the Oriental pear (P. bretschneideri Rehd.) genome and the availability of the draft genome sequence of Occidental pear (P. communis L.), has provided a good opportunity to characterize the abundance, distribution, timing, and evolution of long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) in these two important fruit plants. Here, a total of 7247 LTR-RTs, which can be classif...
متن کاملDeterminants of Genomic RNA Encapsidation in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons Ty1 and Ty3
Long-terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are transposable genetic elements that replicate intracellularly, and can be considered progenitors of retroviruses. Ty1 and Ty3 are the most extensively characterized LTR retrotransposons whose RNA genomes provide the template for both protein translation and genomic RNA that is packaged into virus-like particles (VLPs) and reverse transcribed. Genom...
متن کاملInfluence of long terminal repeat retrotransposons in the genomes of fission yeasts.
LTR (long terminal repeat) RTs (retrotransposons) are almost ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes. Their abundance and selfish properties make them a major influence in the regulation and evolution of their host genome. Recently, several striking properties of the LTR RTs of fission yeast have been uncovered, affecting important cellular processes such as gene regulation, nuclear architecture and g...
