Endogenous retroviral solo-LTRs in human genome

Frontiers in Genetics
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are derived from the infection and integration of exogenetic retroviruses. HERVs account for 8% of human genome, and the majority of HERVs are solitary LTRs (solo-LTRs) due to homologous recombination.

Revisiting Plus-Strand DNA Synthesis in Retroviruses and Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons: Dynamics of Enzyme: Substrate Interactions

Viruses, 2009
Although polypurine tract (PPT)-primed initiation of plus-strand DNA synthesis in retroviruses and LTR-containing retrotransposons can be accurately duplicated, the molecular details underlying this concerted series of events remain largely unknown ...

Trans-acting transcriptional regulation of human T-cell leukemia virus type III long terminal repeat.

Science, 1985
Human T-cell leukemia virus type III (HTLV-III) was recently identified as the probable etiologic agent of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Long Terminal Repeat U3 Length Polymorphism of Human Foamy Virus

Virology, 1997
Size determination of the long terminal repeat (LTR) of an early (1985) and a more recent (1993) passage of wild-type human foamy virus (HFV) revealed that the virus has undergone substantial deletions in the U3 region upon replication in tissue culture.

Landscape of BRAF transcript variants in human cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We investigate the annotation of BRAF variants, focusing on protein‐coding BRAF‐220 (formerly BRAF‐reference) and BRAF‐204 (BRAF‐X1). The IsoWorm pipeline allows us to quantify these variants in human cancer, starting from RNA‐sequencing data. BRAF‐204 is more abundant than BRAF‐220 and impacts patient survival.

Functional Activity of HERV-K-T47D-Related Long Terminal Repeats

Virology, 2001
The human genome contains a family of endogenous retroviruses, HERV-K(HML-4), that comprises the full-length provirus HERV-K-T47D, five related elements, and hundreds of solitary long terminal repeats (LTRs). We here show that HERV-K-T47D-related LTRs are dispersed over all human chromosomes and have arisen after the divergence of Old and New World ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Encapsidation sequences for spleen necrosis virus, an avian retrovirus, are between the 5' long terminal repeat and the start of the gag gene.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1982
The minimal cis-acting sequences outside the long terminal repeat (LTR) required for formation of an infectious retrovirus cloning vector were determined with recombinants of spleen necrosis virus (SNV) DNA and herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine ...

Hormone Regulation of Bovine Leukemia Virus via the Long Terminal Repeat

Virology, 1997
The hormone regulation of viruses has been of great interest since the discovery of glucocorticoid stimulation of mouse mammary tumor virus via a hormone response element in the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter region. This report describes the investigation of the hormone responsiveness of bovine leukemia virus (BLV), an oncogenic retrovirus ...

Simultaneous inhibition of TRIM24 and TRIM28 sensitises prostate cancer cells to antiandrogen therapy, decreasing VEGF signalling and angiogenesis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRIM24 and TRIM28 are androgen receptor (AR) coregulators which exhibit increased expression with cancer progression. Both TRIM24 and TRIM28 combine to influence the response of castrate‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells to AR inhibitors by mediating AR signalling, regulation of MYC and upregulating VEGF to promote angiogenesis. Castrate‐resistant
