ORF2
110 (kD)
Parts of the 1731 element were demonstrated to encode peptides displaying reverse transcriptase activity. Antibodies were prepared against reverse transcriptase encoding peptides. The antibodies detect a protein of 110kD which was found in D. melanogaster cells but not cells of D. hydei or D. virilis. The protein cosediments with virus-like particles displaying reverse transcriptase activity.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
