RNA Editing and Retrotransposons in Neurology [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Compared to sites in protein-coding sequences many more targets undergoing adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing were discovered in non-coding regions of human cerebral transcripts, particularly in genetic transposable elements called ...

A Missing Link between Retrotransposons and Retroviruses
mBio, 2022 The origin and deep evolution of retroviruses remain largely unclear. It has been proposed that retroviruses might have originated from a Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposon, but all known Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposons are only distantly related to retroviruses ...

Hide and seek: de novo identification in sugar beet reveals impact of non-autonomous LTR retrotransposons [PDF]
Mobile DNAPlant genomes are filled with retrotransposons and their derivatives, constantly undergoing sequence diversification and structural rearrangement. Among them, short, non-autonomous retrotransposons lack full coding capacity and often form subfamilies. As

Characterization of two non-LTR retrotransposons from Sogatella furcifera and Nilaparvata lugens [PDF]
Arthropods, 2019 The fiWe have cloned two retrotransposons, one named SF-RT from Sogatella furcifera and another named NL-Rt from Nilaparvata lugens genome. Both SF-RT and NL-RT are members of the Daphne clade, and encode two open reading frames (ORFs) required for ...

Cell Compartment-Specific Folding of Ty1 Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon RNA Genome
Viruses, 2022 The structural transitions RNAs undergo during trafficking are not well understood. Here, we used the well-developed yeast Ty1 retrotransposon to provide the first structural model of genome (g) RNA in the nucleus from a retrovirus-like transposon ...

Stress Induced Activation of LTR Retrotransposons in the Drosophila melanogaster Genome
Life, 2023 Background: Retrotransposons with long terminal repeats (LTR retrotransposons) are widespread in all groups of eukaryotes and are often both the cause of new mutations and the source of new sequences.

BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Long Terminal Repeat retrotransposons (LTR retrotransposons) are mobile genetic elements composed of a few genes between terminal repeats and, in some cases, can comprise over half of a genome’s content.

The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022 In the male germline, the machinery to repress retrotransposons that threaten genomic integrity via the piRNA pathway is established in gonocytes. It has been reported that disruption of the piRNA pathway leads to activation of retrotransposons and ...
