| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Retrotransposons, mobile genetic elements, mobilize to other genomic loci. It can act as a mutagen inducing several diseases including cancer. However, it remains to be solved how these elements have spread out into the genome for a long evolutionary time scale. This study focused on the mechanisms of retrotransposition of LINE-1, which is actively and currently retrotransposed in the human genome. It have been so far demonstrated that diverse DNA repair factors form a complex with LINE-1 and that PARP1 and PARP2 among the interactors especially play a vital role in LINE-1 retrotransposition. These data also suggest a new model in which these DNA repair factors fix DNA breaks induced by LINE-1 by recruiting another DNA repair protein during the retrotransposition cycle.
