Description

Members of this entry are retrotransposon hot spot proteins (RHSPs). They are associated with polymorphic subtelomeric regions in Trypanosoma. These proteins contain a P-loop (ATP/GTP-binding) motif, represented in this entry, at the C-terminal of the conserved box 1
[1]
. This domain also includes the retrotransposon insertion site
