Trans-acting transposase mutant from Tn5.
Transposition of Tn5 and of its component insertion sequence IS50R is regulated through the action of two proteins it encodes: a cis-acting transposase, Tnp, and a trans-acting inhibitor of transposition, Inh. The mechanism of the cis-acting Tnp and the relevance of inhibition to cis action have been addressed in the current study. A specific colony morphology assay for transposition of Tn5 was...
متن کاملTn5 transposase active site mutants.
Tn5 transposase (Tnp) is a 53.3-kDa protein that is encoded by and facilitates movement of transposon Tn5. Tnp monomers contain a single active site that is responsible for catalyzing a series of four DNA breaking/joining reactions at one transposon end. Based on primary sequence homology and protein structural information, we designed and constructed a series of plasmids that encode for Tnps c...
متن کاملEscherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I copurifies with Tn5 transposase, and Tn5 transposase inhibits topoisomerase I.
Tn5 transposase (Tnp) overproduction is lethal to Escherichia coli. Genetic evidence suggested that this killing involves titration of E. coli topoisomerase I (Topo I). Here, we present biochemical evidence that supports this model. Tn5 Tnp copurifies with Topo I while nonkilling derivatives of Tnp, Delta37Tnp and Delta55Tnp (Inhibitor [Inh]), show reduced affinity or no affinity, respectively,...
متن کاملComparative sequence analysis of IS50/Tn5 transposase.
Comparative sequence analysis of IS50 transposase-related protein sequences in conjunction with known structural, biochemical, and genetic data was used to determine domains and residues that play key roles in IS50 transposase function. BLAST and ClustalW analyses have been used to find and analyze six complete protein sequences that are related to the IS50 transposase. The protein sequence ide...
متن کاملTrans catalysis in Tn5 transposition.
Synaptic complexes in prokaryotic transposons occur when transposase monomers bind to each of two specific end-binding sequences and then associate to bring the proteins and the two ends of the transposon together. It is within this complex of proteins and DNA that identical catalytic reactions are carried out by transposase on each of the ends of the transposon. In this study, we perform in vi...
