Tlr1 is a member of a family of approximately 20-30 DNA elements that undergo developmentally regulated excision during formation of the macronucleus in the ciliated protozoan TETRAHYMENA: Analysis of sequence internal to the right boundary of Tlr1 revealed the presence of a 2 kb open reading frame (ORF) encoding a deduced protein with similarity to retrotransposon integrases. The ORFs of five unique clones were sequenced. The ORFs have 98% sequence conservation and align without frameshifts, al ...[more]
