Abstract:
Gypsy2-I_ST is an internal portion of a young Gypsy2_ST LTR retrotransposon. The internal sequence is flanked by identical Gypsy2-LTR_SR long terminal repeats. Gypsy2_ST belongs to the Tf1 group of self-primed Gypsy LTR retrotransposons. Its reverse transcription is primed by a heteroduplex formed between a 10-bp portion of PBS (Gypsy2-I_ST, pos. 3-12) and the 10-bp 5' end of the Gypsy2_ST mRNA (Gypsy2-LTR_ST, pos. 193-202). Gypsy2_ST encodes a 1499-aa Gypsy2_STp polyprotein (Gypsy2-I_ST, pos. 23-4321, and Gypsy2-LTR_ST, pos. 1-198) composed of gag (pos. 100-200), protease (pos. 350-450), reverse transcriptase (pos. 560-730), RNase H (pos. 820-950), integrase (pos. 1060-1220) and chromodomain (pos. 1360-1410).

Surprisingly, in both retrotransposons, the ~63-aa C terminal portions of the pol proteins are encoded by the 3' proviral LTRs, and the stop codons are in the regions complementary to the PBSs.
