RNA-Induced Changes in the Activity of the Endonuclease Encoded by the R2 Retrotransposable Element

R2 is a non-long terminal repeat retrotransposable element that inserts itself site specifically in the 28S rRNA genes of arthropods. The 120-kDa protein encoded by R2 has been shown to cleave one strand of the 28S gene at the target site and to use the 3′ hydroxyl group generated from this nick to...
