An Alternative DNA Endonuclease Activity is Associated with the LINE-1 ORF2-encoded Protein
2026-01-20
Abstract excerpt
Long INterspersed Element-1 (L1) retrotransposons use activities contained within the L1 open reading frame 2-encoded protein (ORF2p) to mobilize throughout the genome via target-site primed reverse transcription (TPRT). The ORF2p endonuclease domain (EN) cleaves genomic DNA to liberate a 3’-hydroxyl (3’-OH) group that is used by the ORF2p reverse transcriptase domain (RT) to synthesize a cDNA copy of its bound L1...
