Evolution of Ty1 copy number control in yeast by horizontal transfer of a <i>gag</i> gene
2019-08-21
Abstract excerpt
Insertion of mobile DNA sequences typically has deleterious effects on host fitness, and thus diverse mechanisms have evolved to control mobile element proliferation across the tree of life. Mobility of the Ty1 retrotransposon in Saccharomyces yeasts is regulated by a novel form of copy number control (CNC) mediated by a self-encoded restriction factor derived from the Ty1 gag capsid gene that inhibits virus-lik...
