Description | This entry represents the Ty1/copia-like retrotransposons mostly from eukaryotes, including Copia from Drosophila melanogaster [ ], Tnt1 from Nicotiana tabacum [] and Ty1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae [, ]. Copia-like elements share the same general structure including a long terminal repeat (LTR), and encode a polyprotein that includes major domains with highly conserved amino acid sequences such as gag and pol, and the integrase domain located at the 5' end of the reverse transcriptase domain [ ]. | Name | Retrotransposon Ty1/copia-like |
Short Name | Retrotran_Ty1/copia-like | Type | Family |
