Abstract:
Several hundred copies of L1-1_CR are present in the C. reinhardtii genome. They are ~98% identical to the consensus sequence and constitute nearly 1% of the genome (some elements are less than 1% divergent from each other). L1-1_CR elements usually are flanked by 2-14-bp target site duplications. Many elements are inserted as a 15-50 bp long 3' terminal portion of the consensus, including the polyA tail. L1-1_CR1 encodes the 350-aa L1-1_CR1p (pos. 1057-2106) and 1534-aa L1-1_CR2p (pos. 2109-6710) proteins. L1-1_CR1p is not similar to known proteins; L1-1_CR1p is composed of the L1-like endonuclease and reverse transcriptase domains.
