The whole genome mapping of such elements in various species could reveal differences in positions of the retroviral integration and suggest possible roles of these differences in speciation. Here, we describe the number, locations and sequence features of the human endogenous retrovirus HERV-K (HML-2) long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences on human chromosome 21. We show that their distribution along the chromosome is not only nonrandom but also roughly correlated with the gene density. Amplification of orthologous LTR sites from a number of primate genomes produced patterns of presence and absence for each LTR sequence and allowed determination of the phylogenetic ages and evolutionary order of appearance of individual LTRs. The identity level and phylogenetic age of the LTRs did not correlate with their map locations. Thus, despite the non-random distribution of LTRs, they have apparently been inserted randomly into the chromosome relative to each other. As evidenced in previous studies of chromosomes 19 and 22, this is a characteristic of HERV-K integration. +LTR element Retrovirus 1. INTRODUCTION • Transposons have played an important role in the evolution. • LTRs make important features of the genome. • HERV-K LTR sequences contain putative hormone response elements, enhancers, promoters, polyadenylation signals and transcription factor binding sites. • To understand the role of the LTRs in the primate evolution to perform a whole genome comparison of the LTR positions in various primates. • Three criteria to choose these LTRs (i) the LTRs should be full-sized to comprise all regulatory elements (ii) they should belong to a most biologically active HERV-K (iii) they should be located outside of the clusters of interspersed repeats OBJECT Sequenced human chromosome 21 Mapping of some LTRs Performed phylogenetic analysis Determined the time of their appearance in the primate genomes Identified human-specific LTRs 2.
