Abstract: Gypsy-17-I_DR is an internal portion of the Gypsy-17_DR LTR retrotransposon that belongs to the Gypsy superfamily. Its long terminal repeat is deposited in Repbase as Gypsy-17-LTR_DR. The consensus sequence was reconstructed based on multiple alignment of two proviral copies (they are less than 1% divergent from the consensus sequence). Gypsy-17_DR retrotransposons are characterized by 4-bp target-site duplications. The internal portion contains two ORFs encoding the 572-aa Gypsy-17_DR1p gag (pos. 85-1799) and 1578-aa Gypsy-17_DR2p pol proteins (pos. 1794-6527) composed of the protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase domains. The second protein, including the protease domain, does not start from Met. Presumably, the gag-pol fusion protein is formed originally due to a ribosomal frame shift. This family is likely still active in the genome. One proviral copy is flanked by identical LTRs.
