Condensation of LINE-1 is required for retrotransposition
2022-04-11
Abstract excerpt
LINE-1 (L1) is the only autonomously active retrotransposon in the human genome, and accounts for 17% of the human genome. The L1 mRNA encodes two proteins, ORF1p and ORF2p. ORF1p is a homotrimeric RNA-binding protein that plays a critical role in assembling functional L1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes. Here we show that condensation of ORF1p is required for L1 retrotransposition. Using a combination of biochem...
