The LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposon is an ancient genetic parasite that has written around one-third of the human genome through a 'copy and paste' mechanism catalysed by its multifunctional enzyme, open reading frame 2 protein (ORF2p)<sup>1</sup>. ORF2p reverse transcriptase (RT) and endonuclease activities have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cancer<sup>2,3</sup>, autoimmunity<sup>4,5</sup> and ageing<sup>6,7</sup>, making ORF2p a potential therapeutic target. However, a lack of structur  ...[more]
