|description=Tit for tat type 2 (''Tft2'') is a retrotransposon described along with ''Tft1'' in the genome of ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' ([[Literature:47259|Marín and Lloréns 2000]]). This element belongs to a lineage of plant LTR retrotransposons (''Tat''), sibling of other lineage of putative plant endogenous retroviruses (''Athila''), providing evidence of a shared ancestral lineage originally described as class A by Wright and Voytas ([[Literature:83586|1998]]). Tft2 has several subtypes, the ''Tft2'' sequence available in the genbank accession AC018928 is taken as a representative. This clone is 13.2 Kb in size including LTRs of 0.5Kb. The internal region of this element displays a Primer Binding Site (PBS) complementary to a tRNA Arg, four Open Reading Frames (ORFs) for ''gag'', ''pro'', and ''pol'' genes, and a Polypurine Tract (PPT) adjacent to the 3´LTR ([[Literature:47259|Marín and Lloréns 2000]]). As other ''Tat''-like elements, Tft2 displays downstream to the integrase domain an untranslated region of 8 Kb from which little is known.
