Abstract excerpt
Ty1 is a retrovirus-like retrotransposon whose replication is influenced by diverse cellular processes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have identified cytoplasmic P-body components encoded by DHH1, KEM1, LSM1, and PAT1 as cofactors that posttranscriptionally enhance Ty1 retrotransposition. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence microscopy, we found that Ty1 mRNA and Gag colocalize to...
