Human L1 element target‐primed reverse transcription in vitro
Open accessAbstract
L1 elements are ubiquitous human transposons that replicate via an RNA intermediate. We have reconstituted the initial stages of L1 element transposition in vitro. The reaction requires only the L1 ORF2 protein, L1 3' RNA, a target DNA and appropriate buffer components. We detect branched molecules consisting of junctions between transposon 3' end cDNA and the target DNA, resulting from priming at a nick in the target DNA. 5' junctions of transposon cDNA and target DNA are also observed. The nicking and reverse transcription steps in the reaction can be uncoupled, as priming at pre-existing nicks and even double-strand breaks can occur. We find evidence for specific positioning of the L1 RNA with the ORF2 protein, probably mediated in part by the polyadenosine portion of L1 RNA. Polyguanosine, similar to a conserved region of the L1 3' UTR, potently inhibits L1 endonuclease (L1 EN) activity. L1 EN activity is also repressed in the context of the full-length ORF2 protein, but it and a second cryptic nuclease activity are released by ORF2p proteolysis. Additionally, heterologous RNA species such as Alu element RNA and L1 transcripts with 3' extensions are substrates for the reaction.

The L1 endonuclease nicks the bottom strand of genomic DNA at A/T-rich sites to initiate target-primed reverse transcription.
“The endonuclease nicks the bottom strand of genomic DNA at A/T rich sites (TTTT/AA consensus) to initiate a process known as target-primed reverse transcription (TPRT) (Fig. 2)18.”
From The role of retrotransposable elements in ageing and age-associated diseases (2021) · cites this paper as [18]
The Introduction (page not specified in our copy) says L1 endonuclease nicks mainly at TpA and flanking bonds in TₙAₙ sequences. The paper’s description of TPRT (page not specified) says the nick exposes a 3′ hydroxyl that primes reverse transcription. These passages support the mechanism and A/T-rich targeting, but do not identify the nicked strand as the bottom strand or give TTTT/AA as the precise consensus. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
