A novel family of retrotransposons in Xenopus with a developmentally regulated expression.
Summary: We have obtained a novel family of LTR-retrotransposons in Xenopus laevis, named Xretpos, from cDNA and genomic clones. Its long terminal repeats (LTRs) can be subdivided into U3, R, and U3 to U5 region, and are bounded by 6 bp inverted repeats. Xretpos contains primer binding site and polypurine tract, and multiple copies of Xretpos-related element are present in the genome. A long open reading frame (ORF) encodes the CCHC motif conserved in retroviral gag proteins and leucine zipper motif capable of forming the coiled-coil. However, no amino acid homology to usually conserved retroviral pol gene was revealed. We report that in vitro synthesized Xretpos complementary RNAs are translated to produce a predicted size of protein. We also show that zygotically activated Xretpos transcripts are restricted to ventro-posterior specific regions and induced by UV-irradiation and BMP-4 overexpression in cycloheximide-dependent way. genesis 26:198-207, 2000.
期刊介绍：
As of January 2000, Developmental Genetics was renamed and relaunched as genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development, with a new scope and Editorial Board. The journal focuses on work that addresses the genetics of development and the fundamental mechanisms of embryological processes in animals and plants. With increased awareness of the interplay between genetics and evolutionary change, particularly during developmental processes, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all ecological niches. The expanded numbers of genomes for which sequencing is being completed will facilitate genetic and genomic examination of developmental issues, even if the model system does not fit the “classical genetic” mold. Therefore, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all species. Other areas of particular interest include: 1) the roles of epigenetics, microRNAs and environment on developmental processes; 2) genome-wide studies; 3) novel imaging techniques for the study of gene expression and cellular function; 4) comparative genetics and genomics and 5) animal models of human genetic and developmental disorders.
genesis presents reviews, full research articles, short research letters, and state-of-the-art technology reports that promote an understanding of the function of genes and the roles they play in complex developmental processes.
