Abstract

The 474-bp long terminal repeat (LTR) of the basidiomycete Lentinula edodes retrotransposon was found to contain a different type of transcription termination–poly (A)-addition signal on each strand: TATGT- - -TATG- - -TCT, first reported in yeast genes, and an AATAA (or ACATAA)- - -GT(Py)-rich sequence, frequently found in mammalian genes.
