Abstract:
G4_DM belongs to the JOCKEY clad of non-LTR retrotransposons. Its copies have poly(A) 3' tail and they are flanked by ~10-bp direct repeats generated upon integration into genome. G4_DM forms a separate family of retrotransposons that were recently (several million years ago) active in the Drosophila melanogaster genome. There are ~30 copies of G4_DM in the sequenced genome, they are ~5% divergent from the consensus sequence and ~10% divergent from each other. The consensus sequence, which is a approximation of the G4_DM element that was active ~3 Myr ago, contains two ORFs (positions 2-1078 and 1143-3725) that encode the 359-aa G4p1 and 861-aa G4p2 proteins, correspondingly. G4p1 is a putative DNA/RNA binding protein, its ~200-aa N- and ~100-aa C-terminus are missing because of a lack of sequence data.
