Recognize Yourself-Innate Sensing of Non-LTR Retrotransposons. [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Although mobile genetic elements, or transposons, have played an important role in genome evolution, excess activity of mobile elements can have detrimental consequences. Already, the enhanced expression of transposons-derived nucleic acids can trigger autoimmune reactions that may result in severe autoinflammatory disorders.

Skipper, an LTR retrotransposon of Dictyostelium [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 1998
The complete sequence of a retrotransposon from Dictyostelium discoideum , named skipper , was obtained from cDNA and genomic clones. The sequence of a nearly full-length skipper cDNA was similar to that of three other partially sequenced cDNAs. The corresponding retrotransposon is represented in approximately 15-20 copies and is abundantly transcribed.

Hypermethylated LTR retrotransposon exhibits enhancer activity [PDF]

Epigenetics, 2017
LTR retrotransposons are repetitive DNA elements comprising ∼10% of the human genome. They are silenced by hypermethylation of cytosines in CpG dinucleotides and are considered parasitic DNA serving no useful function for the host genome. However, hypermethylated LTRs contain enhancer and promoter sequences and can promote tissue-specific transcription

Differential nuclease sensitivity profiling uncovers a drought responsive change in maize leaf chromatin structure for two large retrotransposon derivatives, Uloh and Vegu

Plant Direct, 2021
Plant chromatin dynamics are generally recognized as playing a role in the genomic response to environmental stress. Although stress‐induced transcriptional activities of LTR‐retrotransposons have been reported, whether the stress response can be ...

Occurrence of LINE, gypsy-like, and copia-like retrotransposons in the clonally propagated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) [PDF]

, 2011
Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements that represent a major fraction of the repetitive DNA of most eukaryotes. Their abundance stems from their expansive replication strategies.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]

, 2013
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...
