Definition: | Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) elements are found in the human genome, which contains ORF1 (open reading frame1, including CC, coiled coil; RRM, RNA recognition motif; CTD, carboxyl-terminal domain) and ORF2 (including EN, endonuclease; RT, reverse transcriptase; C, cysteine-rich domain). The L1-encoded proteins (ORF1p and ORF2p) can mobilize nonautonomous retrotransposons, other noncoding RNAs, and messenger RNAs. |
