Abstract:
CR1-14_SP is a non-LTR retrotransposon that belongs to the CR1 clade. Copies of CR1-14_SP are ~2% divergent form the consensus sequence. The consensus sequence is still incomplete. CR1-14_SP encodes two proteins: 283-aa CR1-14_SPp1 (pos. 1-283) similar to the L1 ORF1 protein, and 958-aa CR1-14_SPp2 protein (pos. 1056-3929) composed of the CR1-like endonuclease and reverse transcriptase domains. The sea urchin genome harbors other young CR1 families characterized by the L1 ORF1 protein (e.g. CR1-12_SP, CR1-16_SP, CR1-18_SP). Likely, this a feature of all CR1 non-LTR retrotransposons in sea urchin. Presumably, the L1-CR1 hybrid emerged in the past as a result of a template switch during reverse transcription. The 3' terminus of CR1-14_SP is composed of the (AATGA) microsatellite.
