Translation of roo reveals one long ORF. The characteristic amino acid motifs of Gag, Protease, RT, Ribonuclease H (Rnase H), and Integrase of LTR retrotransposons and retroviruses (McClure 1991) are shaded and labeled in the margin. The region containing motifs similar to other Envelope proteins (Lerat and Capy 1999) is indicated near the end of the ORF.
