Endogenous pararetrovirus sequences (EPRVs) originated from DNA viruses of the family Caulimoviridae are widely present in plant genomes. Banana streak viruses (BSVs) are a group of circular double-stranded DNA viruses in the genus Badnavirus of the family Caulimoviridae. Banana endogenous virus sequences (BEVs) derived from the ancestral genes of badnaviruses and fixed in the genomes of various bananas. However, the genomic characteristics of BEVs remain unknown. In this study, we identified 2 new variants of BEVs GZ5 and GZ13 by sequences analyses, Southern blot, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). BEV GZ5 had one copy of integration in the BB genome of bananas, while BEV GZ13 was only present in the genome of the variety Dajiao. Importantly, BEV GZ5 contained a complete gene of reverse transcriptase (RT) and ribonuclease H (RNase H) (RT/RNase H). In addition, a 340-bp inverted repeat sequence partially overlapping with RNase H was found upstream and downstream of BEV GZ5. However, the amino acid sequences of BEV GZ5 had deletions and mutations compared with BSVs. The bioinformatics analyses showed that BEV GZ5 protein composed of 412 amino acids with a molecular weight of 47.37 kDa and an isoelectric point of 9.40. Leucine, isoleucine, and lysine (Lys) were the main amino acids of BEV GZ5 protein. The analyses revealed that BEV GZ5 protein contained 35 potential phosphorylation sites. Additionally, it was a hydrophilic protein without a signal peptide and transmembrane region. The secondary structure of BEV GZ5 protein consisted of 37.26% α-helix, followed by 36.25% random coil. To our knowledge, this is the first report that novel BEVs with the complete gene of RT/RNase H has been characterized, which provide a basis for further exploration the function and integration mechanism of BEVs in bananas.
