Bel_Pao_LTR_retrotransposon
LTR retrotransposons in the Bel-Pao superfamily are similar to LTRs in the Gypsy and Retrovirus superfamilies. Mainly described in metazoan genomes, this superfamily contain elements coding for specific proteins in this order: GAG, AP, RT, RH and INT. GAG is a structural protein for virus-like particles. AP is aspartic proteinase. INT is a DDE integrase. RT is a reverse transcriptase. RH is RNAse H.
