TY1A-PR2

Gene
TY1A-PR2
Protein
Transposon Ty1-PR2 Gag polyprotein
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
440 amino acids
Function
Capsid protein (CA) is the structural component of the virus-like particle (VLP), forming the shell that encapsulates the retrotransposons dimeric RNA genome. The particles are assembled from trimer-clustered units and there are holes in the capsid shells that allow for the diffusion of macromolecules. CA has also nucleocapsid-like chaperone activity, promoting primer tRNA(i)-Met annealing to the multipartite primer-binding site (PBS), dimerization of Ty1 RNA and initiation of reverse transcription (By similarity).
