ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
LTR: Long Terminal Repeat
The human genome is estimated to consist of approximately 8% human
endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and related sequences. FPRL2 (fomyl peptide
receptor-like 2) gene has a solitary LTR (long terminal repeat). The LTR is
located between first exon and promoter region of the FPRL2 gene. The FPRL2
gene containing LTR element was expressed in various human tissues except
fetal brain and cerebellum. The LTR element was detected in hominoid, Old
World monkeys, and New World monkeys except for common marmoset,
whereas LINE (long interspersed repetitive element) and SINE (short interspersed
repetitive element) elements were detected in prosimian (ring-tailed lemur) and
common marmoset. We also examined promoter activity of the LTR element in
FPRL2 gene, and discussed its biological role. Taken together, the insertion of
retroelements into primate genome could have different biological roles during
primate evolution.

Retroelements have been subjected to
many amplification and transposition
events resulting in a widespread
distribution of complete or partial retroviral
sequences throughout the human genome.
The human genome comprises
approximately 8% of the human
endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and
other long terminal repeat (LTR)–like
elements . Most HERVs seem to have
entered the genome between 10 and 50
million years ago, and they comprise over
200 distinct groups and subgroups .
Expression of retroelements can influence
the outcome of infections in different ways
that can be either beneficial or detrimental
to the host. A function of the multiple
copy families, scattered throughout the
genome, has been reported regulatory
functions on the gene expression of
nearby located genes . A small minority of
such sequences has acquired a role in
regulating gene expression, and some of
these may be related to differences
between individuals, and to expression of
disease.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION

with the exon numbers. Arrows indicate the primer location. The LTR54 element was integrated into the
FPRL2 gene with the antisense orientation on human chromosome 19q13.41
