Remarks:
The GI:2801515 sequence represents genomic +RNA of the LTR retroelement gypsy. This genomic RNA serves as a
template for gag (843-2198) gag-pol ORF (843-5233) translation of the GI:2801515. During the gag-pol
translation a ribosomal slippage is involved. The gag protein is translated from 843-2198, then the ribosome
slides +2 nt (AG 2199-2200) and continues from ATG 2201.

The gene env is translated with frameshift +1 from subgenomic spliced variant (coding sequence
join(330..331,5314..6763)) of the GI:2801515 (which has complete LTR so it does not correspong the the mRNA
transcript).


From annotation of X78389 it can be deduced the transcription start site should be after
CTTAGTTTTCAATATTGTCTTCTACTC sequence. Thus, the sequence GI:2801515 is a sequence of mRNA transcript with
complete 5'-end and that is why we based on it our annotation.

Authors obtained 5'UTR sequence by PCR amplification of the complete gypsy clone accession No. flybase:M12927,
which is the same as GenBank accession M12927 alias version number GI:157583. DNA sequence GI:157583 published
on 21-JUL-1995 (size 7469 bp) differs on both ends from GI:2801515 published on 17-FEB-2004 (size 7469 bp).
However, authors refer to AUG330 codon, which is not present in GI:157583 but instead in GI:2801515. Also
protein coding regions are better annotated in GI:2801515, thus, another reason to base our annotation on
this record.

The original paper does not describe the PCR primers used so it is not possible to verify whether one could
obtain GI:2801515 by the same approach. Authors studied these isolated parts of the 5'UTR regions: 1-846 in
plasmid construct pDC-WT, 330-846 in pDC-delta1, 530-846 in pDC-delta2, 664-790 in pDC-delta3, 769-790 in
pDC-delta4, 768-846 in pDC-delta5. Bicistronic mRNA (capped and uncapped) were tested in rabbit reticulocyte
lysates. Human 293T cells expressing polioviral 2A protease were transiently transfected with these plasmids
to produce monocistronic messages.

within 530-790 nt. The region denoted as dmgypsyD1 in the paper (330-846) harbors RNA sequence which
inhibits translation in human 293T cells and Drosophila SL2 cells.
