Structural comparison between HERV-K HML2 Rec proteins and the putative HML10 Rec amino acid sequences. The HML10 subtype II proviruses nucleotide sequences corresponding to a predicted Rec domain were translated and the obtained putative proteins (sequences 10–14) were compared to the HERV-K HML2 Rec proteins reported in UniProt (sequences 1–9). Coloured residues represent amino acid substitutions with respect to Q69383 HML2 Rec protein reference sequence. The presence of stop codons is indicated with a star into a black square, the occurrence of frameshifts is indicated with a red square. The putative protein theoretically originated by the inferred ORFs are indicated with a light green arrow. The localization of HML2 Rec proteins Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS) and Nuclear Export Signal (NES) as well as the correspondent putative signals in HML10 Rec puteins are also indicated
