Characterization of Ty1/copia-like retrotransposon families from pigeonpea genome.
Retrotransposons contribute significantly to the size, organization, and genetic diversity of their host genomes. To characterize novel retrotransposon families in pigeonpea and develop retrotransposon-based sequence-specific amplification polymorphic markers, in silico homology sequence search was carried out against the whole genome shotgun sequence of pigeonpea variety Asha (ICPL87119). For ...
متن کاملThe Ty1 Retrotransposon Restriction Factor p22 Targets Gag
A novel form of copy number control (CNC) helps maintain a low number of Ty1 retrovirus-like transposons in the Saccharomyces genome. Ty1 produces an alternative transcript that encodes p22, a trans-dominant negative inhibitor of Ty1 retrotransposition whose sequence is identical to the C-terminal half of Gag. The level of p22 increases with copy number and inhibits normal Ty1 virus-like partic...
متن کاملExploring Ty1 retrotransposon RNA structure within virus-like particles
Ty1, a long terminal repeat retrotransposon of Saccharomyces, is structurally and functionally related to retroviruses. However, a differentiating aspect between these retroelements is the diversity of the replication strategies used by long terminal repeat retrotransposons. To understand the structural organization of cis-acting elements present on Ty1 genomic RNA from the GAG region that cont...
متن کاملBiochemical and Structural Characterization of SplD Protease from Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a dangerous human pathogen. A number of the proteins secreted by this bacterium are implicated in its virulence, but many of the components of its secretome are poorly characterized. Strains of S. aureus can produce up to six homologous extracellular serine proteases grouped in a single spl operon. Although the SplA, SplB, and SplC proteases have been thoroughly charact...
متن کاملRole of integrase in reverse transcription of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae retrotransposon Ty1.
Reverse transcriptase (RT) with its associated RNase H (RH) domain and integrase (IN) are key enzymes encoded by retroviruses and retrotransposons. Several studies have implied a functional role of the interaction between IN and RT during the replication of retroviral and retrotransposon genomes. In this study, IN deletion mutants were used to investigate the role of IN on the RT activity of th...
