They also describe a relationship between the envelope protein of gypsy retrovirus-like elements and the ld130 group of baculovirus envelope proteins.
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 this report, we provide evidence for an evolutionary link between this newly characterized family of baculovirus envelope proteins and the envelope proteins predicted for a variety of insect retrovirus-like retrotransposons.
A Drosophila orf (see below) that is not part of a retrovirus-like element was also identified.
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.
