|description=''Monkey'' is a LTR retrotransposon characterized in ''Musa acuminata'' ([[Literature:3730|Balint-kurti et al. 2000]]). ''Monkey'' belongs to the ''Chromoviridae'' branch, term suggested ([[Literature:47259|Marín and Lloréns 2000]]) to describe the ''Ty3/Gypsy'' elements bearing chromodomain-integrases ([[Literature:46552|Malik and Eickbush 1999]]). The chromovirus branch is probably the most ancient phylogenetic pattern of ''Ty3/Gypsy'' retroelements ([[Literature:26737|Gorinsek, Gubensek and Kordis 2004]]; [[Literature:26736| 2005]]; [[Literature:39523|Kordis 2005]]).

''Monkey is '' 6.3 Kb size and its putative LTRs were identified from two repetitive sequences of 420 nt (Radka8 y Radka9) of ''Musa acuminata'' ([[Literature:85428|Aert, Sagi and Volckaert 2004]]). The internal region of this element displays a single Open Reading Frame (ORF) ''gag-pol'' with multiples stop codon ([[Literature:3730|Balint-kurti et al. 2000]]). This element presents a detectable chromodomain at the C-terminal end of the integrase domain. The PBS of fungi and vertebrate chromoviruses, differs significantly from that used by plant chromoviruses. While plant chromoviruses use a methionine starting tRNA (iMet), fungi and vertebrate chromoviruses use their own self-priming mechanism to start the reverse transcription ([[Literature:43217|Levin 1995 ]]; [[Literature:10125|Butler et al. 2001]]).
