ERVK-8

Gene
ERVK-8
Protein
Endogenous retrovirus group K member 8 Pol protein
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
956 amino acids
Function
Early post-infection, the reverse transcriptase converts the viral RNA genome into double-stranded viral DNA. The RNase H domain of the reverse transcriptase performs two functions. It degrades the RNA template and specifically removes the RNA primer from the RNA/DNA hybrid. Following nuclear import, the integrase catalyzes the insertion of the linear, double-stranded viral DNA into the host cell chromosome. Endogenous Pol proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution.
Similarity
Belongs to the beta type-B retroviral polymerase family. HERV class-II K(HML-2) pol subfamily.

Protein
Endogenous retrovirus group K member 8 Env polyprotein
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
699 amino acids
Function
TM anchors the envelope heterodimer to the viral membrane through one transmembrane domain. The other hydrophobic domain, called fusion peptide, mediates fusion of the viral membrane with the target cell membrane (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the beta type-B retroviral envelope protein family. HERV class-II K(HML-2) env subfamily.

Protein
Endogenous retrovirus group K member 8 Gag polyprotein
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
647 amino acids
Function
The products of the Gag polyproteins of infectious retroviruses perform highly complex orchestrated tasks during the assembly, budding, maturation, and infection stages of the viral replication cycle. During viral assembly, the proteins form membrane associations and self-associations that ultimately result in budding of an immature virion from the infected cell. Gag precursors also function during viral assembly to selectively bind and package two plus strands of genomic RNA. Endogenous Gag proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution.
Similarity
Belongs to the beta type-B retroviral Gag protein family. HERV class-II K(HML-2) gag subfamily.

Protein
Endogenous retrovirus group K member 8 Rec protein
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
105 amino acids
Function
Retroviral replication requires the nuclear export and translation of unspliced, singly-spliced and multiply-spliced derivatives of the initial genomic transcript. Rec interacts with a highly structured RNA element (RcRE) present in the viral 3'LTR and recruits the cellular nuclear export machinery. This permits export to the cytoplasm of unspliced genomic or incompletely spliced subgenomic viral transcripts (By similarity).
