Abstract:
Crack-1_CP is a non-LTR retrotransposon that belongs to the Crack clade, a sister clade of L2 and Daphne. Like in other Crack retrotransposons, the ORF1 protein in Crack-1_CP contains a domain similar to the central domain conserved in vertebrate L1 ORF1 protein. In Crack-1_CP-Crack3_CP retrotransposons, the ORF1 protein contains also in its N-terminal part the PHD finger (C4HC3). The Crack-1_CP consensus sequence was derived from multiple alignment of 5 copies of Crack-1_CP that are 99% identical to each other.
