[ 10 ] also demonstrated that the T Wis allele of T results from the insertion of an endogenous retrovirus-like early transposon (ETn) element into the splice donor site of exon 7 of the 8 exon T locus.
In this report we have investigated the evolutionary relatedness between three categories of proteins, the retrovirus-like gypsy envelope proteins, the baculovirus LD130 group of envelope-associated proteins, and an insect cellular protein.
For example, an LD130 homolog from PxGV, PX26 [ 9] showed significance values of 10 -10with the envelope protein of TED, a lepidopteran retrovirus-like retrotransposon [ 17], and in the 10 -4to 10 -10range for a number of other predicted envelope proteins from retrovirus-like retrotransposons from other insects, particularly members from the genus Drosophila . Searches with other members of the ld130 family showed values of 10 -4to 10 -6to these proteins.
In one set of gypsy retrovirus-like elements (#7-10), the probability of the coiled-coil motif downstream of the cleavage site ranged from 0.26 to 1.0.
Indeed, a phylogenetic analysis of the envelope protein of these elements reported by Malik et al [ 23] suggests that they are derived from a monophyletic event that resulted from their incorporation of a baculovirus envelope protein gene in an ancestral member of these retrovirus-like elements.
