The UnaL2 LINE 3' element is an RNA element found in the UnaL2 LINE (long interspersed nuclear element) and partner SINE (short interspersed nuclear element) from eel.[1] This conserved element is a stem-loop that is critical for their retrotransposition found in their 3' end. The first step of retrotransposition is the recognition of their 3' tails by UnaL2-encoded reverse transcriptase. The NMR structure of a 17-nucleotide RNA derived from the 3' tail of UnaL2 has been determined.[1]
