Solution structure of an RNA stem–loop derived from the 3′ conserved region of eel LINE UnaL2

BABA, SEIKI, KAJIKAWA, MASAKI, OKADA, NORIHIRO, KAWAI, GOTA

The eel long interspersed element (LINE) UnaL2 and its partner short interspersed element (SINE) share a conserved 3′ tail containing a stem–loop that is critical for their retrotransposition....

Novel retrotransposon analysis reveals multiple mobility pathways dictated by hosts

Ichiyanagi, Kenji, Nakajima, Ryo, Kajikawa, Masaki, Okada, Norihiro

Autonomous non-long-terminal-repeat retrotransposons (NLRs) proliferate by retrotransposition via coordinated reactions of target DNA cleavage and reverse transcription by a mechanism called...

Novel sex pheromone desaturases in the genomes of corn borers generated through gene duplication and retroposon fusion

Xue, Bingye, Rooney, Alejandro P., Kajikawa, Masaki, Okada, Norihiro, Roelofs, Wendell L.

The biosynthesis of female moth sex pheromone blends is controlled by a number of different enzymes, many of which are encoded by members of multigene families. One such multigene family, the...
