Mainly described in vertebrate animals, this superfamily contain elements coding for specific proteins in this order: GAG, AP, RT, RH, INT, and ENV. GAG is a structural protein for virus-like particles. AP is aspartic proteinase. INT is a DDE integrase. RT is a reverse transcriptase. RH is RNAse H. ENV is envelop protein. |
