DescriptionPCretro6 is a Ty1/Copia LTR retrotransposon found in the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium (Novikova et al 2005, unpublished). It belongs to pCretro clade within Branch 2 of the Ty1/Copia LTR retrotransposons family (Llorens et al. 2009). The genome of pCretro6 is about of 5 Kb in size (5049 bp long), including LTRs of 369 bp that flank one single Open Reading Frame (ORF) of 1394 amino acids. This retroelement encodes for the gag-pol polyprotein which domains organization is the typical of Ty1/Copia LTR retrotransposons (gag, protease, integrase, reverse transcriptase and ribonuclease H).
