    Notes: Summary We describe the characteristics of a repetitive DNA sequence from the rainbow trout and related salmonid fishes that is similar to a retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR). The repeat is 160 bp long and contains a region of homology to the LTR of the avian sarcoma virus. Two clones with this repeat from the chum salmon also have a polypurine tract and tRNA binding site, respectively, and these clones may represent the two LTRs of a retrovirus or retroviral-like repetitive element. Copies of the repeat are also adjacent to rainbow trout and chum salmon protamine genes. These repeats may be “solo” LTRs. There appears to be some polymorphism in restriction sites between individual rainbow trout and considerable differences between salmonid fish species when the repeat is used as a probe.

    Notes: Summary We have cloned and sequenced a protamine gene from the chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta). This gene sequence is highly homologous to one found in the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), including the conservation of two structurally different repetitive elements. One of these repeats resembles a nonviral retroposon and the second is similar to a retroviral-like transposable element. The degree of sequence divergence between theO. keta andS. gairdneri genes is much less within the transcription unit than in the repetitive elements or the remainder of the flanking DNA, suggesting that since the coding and the untranslated regions are highly conserved, both contribute significantly to the structure and stability of protamine mRNA (or its cognate messenger ribonucleoprotein) and this may be important for the translational control of protamine synthesis.
