Isolation of novel human endogenous retrovirus-like elements with foamy virus-related pol sequence

Journal of Virology
A CordonnierT Heidmann

Abstract

A new class of reverse transcriptase coding sequences was detected in reverse-transcribed RNAs from human placenta by polymerase chain amplification with primers in highly conserved regions of the pol gene of mammalian retroviruses and retrotransposons. Using one of these novel sequences as a probe to screen a human genomic library, we isolated retrovirus-like elements bordered by long terminal repeats and having a potential leucine tRNA primer-binding site. Determination of the complete nucleotide sequence (6,591 bp) of one of these elements, termed HERV-L (for human endogenous retrovirus with leucine tRNA primer), revealed domains of amino acid similarities to retroviral reverse transcriptase and integrase proteins. In addition, a region with homologies to dUTPase proteins was found unexpectedly downstream from the integrase domain. Amino acid sequence and phylogenetic analysis indicate that the HERV-L pol gene is related to that of foamy retroviruses. HERV-L-related sequences are detected in several mammalian species and have expanded in primate and mouse genomes up to 100 to 200 copies.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
