Transposable elements (TE) are an important source of genetic variation with a dynamic and
content that greatly differ in a wide range of species. The origin of the intraspecific content …

Excessive replication of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ty1 retrotransposons is regulated by
Copy Number Control, a process requiring the p22/p18 protein produced from a sub …

In various eukaryotic kingdoms, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons repress
transcription by infiltrating heterochromatin generated within their elements. In contrast, the …

RNAs adopt specific structures to perform their functions, which are critical to fundamental
cellular processes. For decades, these structures have been determined and modeled with …

During replication of long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons, their proteins and
genome (g) RNA assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs) that are not infectious but …

Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons constitute a significant part of eukaryotic
genomes and influence their function and evolution. Like other RNA viruses, LTR …

The structural transitions RNAs undergo during trafficking are not well understood. Here, we
used the well-developed yeast Ty1 retrotransposon to provide the first structural model of …

A universal feature of retroelement propagation is the formation of distinct nucleoprotein
complexes mediated by the Gag capsid protein. The Ty1 retrotransposon Gag protein from …

Background The multiple roles of both viral and cellular RNAs have become increasingly
apparent in recent years, and techniques to model them have become significantly more …

Ty1 is the most active long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and resembles retroviruses in genome organization and replication mechanisms …
