A consensus sequence for a functional human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) dUTPase.

Biochemistry and cell biology = Biochimie et biologie cellulaire - 1 Jan 1997

Harris J M, Haynes R H, McIntosh E M

Abstract excerpt

Amino acid sequence comparisons have revealed that a potential dUTPase gene is encoded by the retrovirus HERV-K, a defective multicopy virus that is transmitted vertically in humans. This gene is distinct from the human cellular dUTPase gene and thus two potential sources of the enzyme exist in human cells. dUTPases characterized from various sources each contain five conserved amino acid sequence motifs that...
