Eukaryotic genomes are full of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons. Although most LTR retrotransposons have common structural features and encode similar genes, there is nonetheless considerable diversity in their genomic organization, reflecting the different strategies they use to proliferate within the genomes of their hosts. 1, record 2, English, - long%20terminal%20repeat%20retrotransposon

Le préfixe rétro- vient du fait que les rétrotransposons vont «à l'inverse» du dogme central de l'ADN, car leur ARN est rétro-transcrit en ADN. Certains d'entre eux, les rétrotransposons à LTR (long terminal repeat sequence), sont apparentés aux rétrovirus, mais sans toutefois être infectieux. 3, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9trotransposon%20%C3%A0%20longues%20r%C3%A9p%C3%A9titions%20terminales

Long terminal repeat [is] the genetic material at each end of the HIV genome. When the HIV genome is integrated into a cell's own genome, the LTR interacts with cellular and viral factors to trigger the transcription of the HIV integrated HIV DNA genes into an RNA form that is packaged in new virus particles. Activation of the LTR is a major step in triggering HIV replication. 4, record 4, English, - long%20terminal%20repeat

Le génome du V.I.H.-1, comme tout rétrovirus, présente à chacun de ses extrémités une séquence appelée Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) ou longue répétition terminale. Les LTR, qui sont des régions non codantes, contiennent les éléments promoteurs qui contrôlent l'intensité de l'expression des gènes du virus et l'intégration aux gènes de la cellule-hôte. 5, record 4, French, - longue%20r%C3%A9p%C3%A9tition%20terminale
