Abstract:
Gypsy4-I_DR is an internal portion of the Gypsy4_DR LTR retrotransposon that belongs to the Gypsy superfamily. Its long terminal repeat is deposited in Repbase as Gypsy4-LTR_DR.Gypsy4_DR is characterized by 4-bp target site duplications.The internal portion encodes two proteins: the 536-aa gag Gypsy4_DR1p (pos. 261-1868) and 1546-aa polyprotein (pos. 1757-6394, conceptual translation) composed of the protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase domains. Some insertions fairly recent, according to the hight identity between their flanking LTRs. Consensus obtained after the alignment of at least five independent insertions bearing at least 85% homology over at least 1000bp.
