[Analysis of motifs of functional MDG2 sites in assuring its possible molecular functions].
We analyzed the location and possible interaction of motifs of functional sites in a DNA sequence of MDG2 (Dm412) revealed by means of computer context analysis. It was shown that motifs of functional sites in the appropriate location can ensure the basic molecular functions of MDG2: expression of its ORF, transcription, induction of transposition, modification of adjacent genes and polygenes, etc. MDG2 ILTR does not contain the NTCAGTYN motif required for initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II in the absence of the TATA box and located close to the transcription start site in most gypsy-like retrotransposons of Drosophila. Therefore, MDG2 ILTR appears to contain the classic promoter region for RNA polymerase II, contrary to other retrotransposons of the gypsy group. Enhancers of mobile genetic elements are assumed to determine modification of adjacent genes and polygenes. Excisions and transpositions of mobile elements seem to be induced by external stress factors or physiological factors through a heat-shock system.
