Abstract:
Gypsy3_TP is a young family of Gypsy-like LTR retrotransposons. Gypsy3-I_TP, an internal portion of Gypsy3_TP is flanked by 100% identical Gypsy3-LTR_TP LTRs. The consensus sequence encodes the 368-aa gag-like Gypsy3_TP1p protein (pos. 421-1524) and 1239-aa Gypsy3_TP2p polyprotein (pos. 1528-5244) composed of the protease, reverse transcriptase, ribonuclease H, and integrase domains. Gypsy3_TP is characterized by 5-bp target site duplications. There is no tRNA-like primer binding site in Gypsy3_TP. Instead, this retrotransposon uses self-priming by the 12-bp CTTTGAATTCAAAC palindrome present at the very 5'-end of its internal portion.
