1 (LINE-1)*

Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1 or
L1) is an interspersed repeated DNA found in mammalian genomes. L1
achieved its high copy number by retrotransposition, a process that
requires the two L1-encoded proteins, ORF1p and ORF2p. The role of
ORF1p in the retrotransposition cycle is incompletely understood, but it is known to bind single-stranded nucleic acids and act as a nucleic
acid chaperone. This study assesses the nature and specificity of the
interaction of ORF1p with RNA. Results of coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate that ORF1p preferentially binds a single T1
nuclease digestion product of 38 nucleotides (nt) within the full-length mouse L1 transcript. The 38-nt fragment is localized within
L1 RNA and found to be sufficient for binding by ORF1p but not
necessary, because its complement is also efficiently coimmunoprecipitated, as are all sequences 38 nt or longer. Results of
nitrocellulose filter-binding assays demonstrate that the binding of
ORF1p to RNA does not require divalent cations but is sensitive to the
concentration of monovalent cation. Both sense and antisense transcripts bind with apparent KDs in the low
nanomolar range. The results of both types of assay unambiguously
support the conclusion that purified ORF1p from mouse L1 is a
high-affinity, non-sequence-specific RNA binding protein.
