LINE-1 ORF2p Expression is Nearly Imperceptible in Human Cancers
2019-08-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4> A bstract </h4> <h4>Background</h4> Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1, L1) is the major driver of mobile DNA activity in modern humans. When expressed, LINE-1 loci produce bicistronic transcripts encoding two proteins essential for retrotransposition, ORF1p and ORF2p. Many types of human cancers are characterized by L1 promoter hypomethylation, L1 transcription, L1 ORF1p protein expression, and somatic...
