Abstract: Nobel_I is an element belonging to the Bel superfamily, found in Drosophila yakuba, D. ananassae, D. pseudoobscura and D. persimilis, with a copy number of 11, 54, 2 and 53 elements, respectively. The consensus sequence is 6294bp in length. Nobel_I encodes a single gag-pol polyprotein which starts at position 1107 and ends within the LTR, which is interrupted by a premature stop codon between positions 3534 and 3536 in the consensus sequence. The open reading frame is only intact in one copy of Nobel in D. persimilis. Flanking LTRs can be up to 100% identical suggesting that Nobel is still actively retrotransposing in D. persimilis. There is some substructure to this family, with a group of 5 elements in D. persimilis sharing 37 mutations from the consensus, and a group of 5 elements in D. ananassae sharing 5 mutations from the consensus. Despite a patchy distribution across the Drosophila phylogeny, there is no evidence for horizontal transfer of Nobel between the four species in which it is found.
