Abstract:
Gypsy1-I_GA is an internal portion of a young Gypsy1_GA LTR retrotransposon. The internal sequence is flanked by identical Gypsy1-LTR_SR long terminal repeats. Gypsy1_GA belongs to the Tf1 group of self-primed Gypsy LTR retrotransposons. Its reverse transcription is primed by a heteroduplex formed between a 11-bp portion of PBS (Gypsy1-I_GA, pos. 3-12) and the 10-bp 5' end of the Gypsy1_GA mRNA (Gypsy1-LTR_GA, pos. 214-223). Gypsy1_GA encodes a 1462-aa Gypsy1_GAp polyprotein (Gypsy1-I_GA, pos. 20-4381 and Gypsy1-LTR_GA, pos. 1-22) composed of the gag (pos.125-220), protease (pos.340-450), reverse transcriptase (pos.580-750), RNase H (pos.820-950), integrase (pos.1089-1241) and chromo domains (pos.1380-1442).

At the same time, Gypsy1_STp is 46% identical to the polyprotein encoded by another frog element, Gypsy2_ST element. Also, these proteins are over 40% identical to to proteins encoded by Tf1-like elements in fungi. Most likely, the fish and frog retrotransposons were transferred horizontally into the vertebrate genomes.
