Arc and PEG10 as repurposed retrotransposon Gag proteins

Arc (in Drosophila and vertebrates) and PEG10 (in mammals) are molecularly derived from retrotransposon Gag proteins, and retain RNA-binding and packaging activities, demonstrating that host genomes can domesticate capsid-like elements for intercellular communication.
