Condensin II and GAIT complexes cooperate to restrict LINE-1 retrotransposition in epithelial cells.

Condensin II and GAIT complexes cooperate to restrict LINE-1 retrotransposition in epithelial cells.

LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons can mobilize (retrotranspose) within the human genome, and mutagenic de novo L1 insertions can lead to human diseases, including cancers. As a result, cells are actively engaged in preventing L1 retrotransposition. This work reveals that the human Condensin II complex re...
