Abstract:
R5-1_SM belongs to the R5 group of the NeSL clade of non-LTR retrotransposons. The R5-1_SM consensus sequence was derived from copies that are ~95% identical to the consensus sequence. Analogously to the nematode NeSL-1, the R5-1_SM protein containing the reverse transcriptase domain is fused with the Ulp1 cysteine protease domain (aa pos. 17-162 in R5-1_SM_2p). Based on PSI-BLAST, the Ulp1 cysteine protease domain is fused with with the RT domain in other families of Schmidtea mediterranea NeSL/R5, including R5-2_SM, and LIN2_SM-LIN11_SM.
