Controlling integration specificity of a yeast retrotransposon.

Retrotransposons and retroviruses integrate nonrandomly into eukaryotic genomes. For the yeast retrotransposon Ty5, integration preferentially occurs within domains of heterochromatin. Targeting to these locations is determined by interactions between an amino acid sequence motif at the C terminus of Ty5 integrase (IN) called the targeting domain, and the heterochromatin protein Sir4p. Here we ...

Acquisition of endonuclease specificity during evolution of L1 retrotransposon.

L1 is the most proliferative autonomous retroelement that comprises about 20% of mammalian genomes. Why L1s have proliferated so extensively in mammalian genomes is an important yet unsolved question. L1 copies are amplified via retrotransposition, in which the DNA cleavage specificity by the L1-encoded endonuclease (EN) primarily dictates sites of insertion. Whereas mammalian L1s show target p...

Analysis of yeast retrotransposon Ty insertions at the CAN1 locus.

The target site distribution for 55 independent Ty insertions that inactivate the function of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAN1 gene is reported. Under some selection conditions Ty elements inserted preferentially into the promoter and exhibited an orientation bias. In contrast, under other conditions no insertions were detected in the promoter region and transposition appeared to occur randoml...

Saturation mutagenesis of a +1 programmed frameshift-inducing mRNA sequence derived from a yeast retrotransposon.

Errors during the process of translating mRNA information into protein products occur infrequently. Frameshift errors occur less frequently than other types of errors, suggesting that the translational machinery has more robust mechanisms for precluding that kind of error. Despite these mechanisms, mRNA sequences have evolved that increase the frequency up to 10,000-fold. These sequences, terme...
