Robust expression of LINE-1 retrotransposon encoded proteins in oral squamous cell carcinoma
2020-11-24
Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposons are sequences which transpose within genomes using RNA as an intermediate. Long INterpersed Element-1 (LINE1 or L1) is the only active retrotransposon occupying around 17% of the human genome with an estimated 500,000 copies. An active L1 encodes two proteins (L1ORF1p and L1ORF2p); both of which are critical in the process of retrotransposition. In-order to propagate to the nextgeneration, L1s rem...
