Bidirectional insertion of mouse endogenous retroviruses to form 4632419I22Rik and Fv1 genes. (Ai and Bi) Presumed parental endogenous retroviruses, MuERV-L and RLTR-6 with LTR domains (U3-R-U5), primer binding site (PBS) and open reading frames, gag, pol and env. (Aii and Bii) Structure of the domesticated 4632419I22Rik and Fv1 genes showing regions of homology to presumed ancestral ERV (dashed lines). Exons are denoted by grey boxes and direction of transcription is indicated with arrow heads.
