Abstract

BACKGROUND: R2 elements are a clade of early branching Long Interspersed Elements (LINEs). LINEs are retrotransposable elements whose replication can have profound effects on the genomes in which they reside. No crystal or EM structures exist for the reverse transcriptase (RT) and linker regions of LINEs.

RESULTS: Using limited proteolysis as a probe for globular domain structure, we show that the protein encoded by the

CONCLUSIONS: The protein encoded by RLE LINEs consists of two major globular domains. The larger of the two globular domain contains the RT, linker, and RLE and is similar to the large fragment of the spliceosomal protein Prp8. The similarities are suggestive of possible common ancestry.
