Abstract

We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the human endogenous retrovirus genome HERV-K10 isolated as the sequence homologous to the Syrian hamster intracisternal A-particle (type A retrovirus) genome. HERV-K10 is 9,179 base pairs long with long terminal repeats of 968 base pairs at both ends; a sequence 290 base pairs long, however, was found to be deleted. It was concluded that a composite genome having the 290-base-pair fragment is the prototype HERV-K provirus gag (666 codons), protease (334 codons), pol (937 codons), and env (618 codons) genes. The size of the protease gene product of HERV-K is essentially the same as that of A- and D-type oncoviruses but nearly twice that of other retroviruses. A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences encoded by the pol region showed HERV-K to be closely related to types A and D retroviruses and even more so to type B retrovirus. It was noted that the env gene product of HERV-K structurally resembles the mouse mammary tumor virus (type B retrovirus) env protein, and the possible expression of the HERV-K env gene in human breast cancer cells is discussed.

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.
