The Retrotransposon-Derived Capsid Genes PNMA1 and PNMA4 Maintain Reproductive Capacity

2024-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The human genome contains 24 gag-like capsid genes derived from deactivated retrotransposons conserved among eutherians. Although some of their encoded proteins retain the ability to form capsids and even transfer cargo, their fitness benefit has remained elusive. Here we show that the gag-like genes PNMA1 and PNMA4 support reproductive capacity during aging. Analysis of donated human o...
