Abstract:
RTE-1_AG is a family of RTE-like non-LTR retrotransposons. The RTE-1_AG consensus sequence was reconstructed based on multiple alignment of ~100 copies identified in the sequenced portion of the genome. Given the ~2% divergence of these copies from the consensus sequence, transposition of RTE-1_AG occurred less than 1 million years ago. The RTE-1_AG family is composed of several subfamilies. The consensus sequence encodes a 972-aa RTE-1_AGp protein (positions 373 3288), which is composed of the AP endonuclease and reverse transcriptase domains. The 3' terminus is composed of the TAAG microsatellite.
