Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcription of the yeast retrotransposon Ty1 is primed by the cytoplasmic initiator methionine tRNA (tRNA(iMet)). The primer tRNA(iMet) is packaged inside virus-like particles (VLPs) and binds to a 10 nucleotides minus-strand primer binding site, the (-)PBS, complementary to its 3' acce...
