Restrictive flamenco Alleles Are Maintained in Drosophila melanogaster Population Cages, Despite the Absence of Their Endogenous gypsy Retroviral Targets (2007)

Pélisson, Alain, Payen-Groschêne, Geneviève, Terzian, Christophe, Bucheton, Alain

The flamenco (flam) locus, located at 20A1-3 in the centromeric heterochromatin of the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome, is a major regulator of the gypsy/mdg4 endogenous retrovirus. In...

The Drosophila Bruno paralogue Bru-3 specifically binds the EDEN translational repression element (2004)

Delaunay, Jérôme, Mée, Gwenn Le, Ezzeddine, Nader, Labesse, Gilles, Terzian, Christophe, Capri, Michèle, ...

We reported in our previous work that the EDEN‐dependent translational repression of maternal mRNAs was conserved between Drosophila and Xenopus. In Xenopus, this repression is achieved through...

Evolution and phylogeny of insect endogenous retroviruses (2001)

Terzian, Christophe, Pélisson, Alain, Bucheton, Alain

Abstract Background The genome of invertebrates is rich in retroelements which are structurally reminiscent of the retroviruses of vertebrates. Those containing three open reading frames (ORFs),...

Evolution of the Gypsy Endogenous Retrovirus in the Drosophila melanogaster Subgroup (2000)

Terzian, Christophe, Ferraz, Concepcion, Demaille, Jacques, Bucheton, Alain

We conducted a phylogenetic survey of the endogenous retrovirus Gypsy in the eight species of the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup. A 362-bp fragment from the integrase gene (int) was amplified,...

The full-length transcript of the I factor, a LINE element of Drosophila melanogaster, is a potential bicistronic RNA messenger (1994)

Bouhidel, Karim, Terzian, Christophe, Pinon, Hubert

The I factor of Drosophila melanogaster is a retrotransposon of the LINE superfamily. The I factor displays two non-overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) that have the potential to encode for a...

A Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus-Based Retroviral Vector Pseudotyped by the Insect Retroviral gypsy Envelope Can Infect Drosophila Cells

Teysset, Laure, Burns, Jane C., Shike, Hiroko, Sullivan, Barbara L., Bucheton, Alain, Terzian, Christophe

The gypsy element of Drosophila melanogaster is the first retrovirus identified so far in invertebrates. Previous data suggest that gypsy ENV-like ORF3 mediates viral infectivity. We have produced in...

Comparative and functional studies of Drosophila species invasion by the gypsy endogenous retrovirus.

Mejlumian, Lucine, Pélisson, Alain, Bucheton, Alain, Terzian, Christophe

Gypsy is an endogenous retrovirus of Drosophila melanogaster. Phylogenetic studies suggest that occasional horizontal transfer events of gypsy occur between Drosophila species. gypsy possesses...

Induction of Mutations in Drosophila melanogaster gypsy Retroelements by Modulation of Intracellular Deoxynucleoside Triphosphate Pools In Vivo▿

Terzian, Christophe, Henry, Michel, Meyerhans, Andreas, Wain-Hobson, Simon, Vartanian, Jean-Pierre

The retroviral mutation rate is susceptible to a number of variables, including the balance between intracellular deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools. While this follows from tissue culture...
