Background InformationLINE-1 retrotransposable element ORF2 protein (UniProt: O00370; also known as EC:2.7.7.49, ORF2p endonuclease, ORF2p) is encoded by the Orf2p gene (Gene ID: 107987054) in human. Full length long interspersed element-1 (L1) is an autonomous non-long terminal repeat retrotransposon that contains two open reading frames encoding ORF1p and ORF2p proteins. L1 is reported to be responsible for all of the retrotransposon-induced genomic instability in the human genome and is the only active source of the functional ORF1 and ORF2 proteins required for mobilization of LINEs, SINEs, and SVA elements. The human ORF2p, a 149 kDa protein, contains three domains: an N-terminal endonuclease domain, a reverse transcriptase domain, and C-terminal domain with putative RNA binding activity. Its endonuclease activity allows the introduction of nicks in the chromosomal target DNA and is known to cleave DNA in AT-rich regions between a 5' stretch of purines and a 3' stretch of pyrimidines, corresponding to sites of LINE-1 integration in the genome. Human and mouse ORF2p is reported to exhibit a high degree of sequence homology. Clone 1G4E11 can recognize sequences within the endonuclease domain of the human ORF2 protein. It exhibits specificity to the human ORF2p and can detect the full-length and truncated ORF2 proteins expressed in mammalian cells. (Ref.: Sokolowski M., et al. (2014). Mob DNA. 5(1); 29; Feng, Q., et al. (1996). Cell. 87(5); 905-916).
