|description= ''Suzu'' is a LTR retrotransposon described in the fugu fish ''Takifugu rubripes'' ([[Literature:22963|Frame ''et al.'' 2001]]). There are 150 estimated copies of this element in the Fugu genome. ''Suzu'' belongs to the ''Suzu'' clade ([[Literature:14755|Copeland ''et al.'' 2005]]) within Branch 2 of the ''Bel/Pao'' LTR retrotransposons family ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al.'' 2009]]). ''Suzu'' genome is about of 7.6 Kb in size (7618 bp long). The 5’- and 3’- LTRs, of respectively 726 and 724 nts long, bind a single ORF of 1884 amino acids (aa) that encodes for the typical gag and pol protein domains. The ''gag'' C-terminus shows a triple-zinc-finger-like motifs characteristic of the nucleocapsid domain of Bel/Pao LTR retrotransposons, while pol contains the typical PR, RT, RNAse H and INT domains. Unlike to other LTR retroelements Suzu PR and RNAse H present unusual functional motifs (DLA instead of the typical DS/TG catalitic PR motif), and (DGS instead of DAS in RNAse H) ([[Literature:22963|Frame ''et al.'' 2001]]). Identical PR and RH motifs have been found in the [[Gabel|''Gabel'']] ''Bel/Pao'' element also belonging to the ''Suzu'' clade ([[Literature:100596|Llorens ''et al.'' 2009]]).
