Transient overexpression of both KPNA2 and KPNB1 significantly increases L1 retrotransposition in HeLa cells. HeLa cells were transiently co-transfected with the L1Neo expression plasmid and plasmids expressing KPNA2 and/or KPNB1. All data normalized for toxicity that was determined by co-transfection of these expression plasmids with a plasmid expressing neomycin resistance gene (Additional file 5: Figure S5). Representative flasks are shown and the average number of colonies +/− standard deviation are indicated for each transfection condition. Error bars show standard deviation determined using data from three independent experiments (*, p < .05; ****, p < .0001)
