additional information
compared with wild-type TnpA, Tn4430 TnpA mutants that are proficient in transposition but impaired in target immunity exhibit deregulated activities. They spontaneously assemble a unique asymmetric synaptic complex in which one TnpA molecule simultaneously binds two transposon ends. In this complex, TnpA is in an activated state competent for DNA cleavage and strand transfer. Wild-type TnpA can form this complex only on precleaved ends mimicking the initial step of transposition

contruction of two truncated recombinant Tgf2 transposases with deletions in the N-terminal zinc finger domain, S1- and S2-Tgf2TPase, from goldfish cDNAs. Both truncated Tgf2TPases lost their DNA-binding ability in vitro, specifically at the ends of Tgf2 transposon than native L-Tgf2TPase. Mutant S1- and S2-Tgf2TPases mediate gene transfer in the zebrafish genome in vivo at a significantly lower efficiency (21%-25%), in comparison with L-Tgf2TPase (56% efficiency). Compared to L-Tgf2TPase, truncated Tgf2TPases catalyze imprecise excisions with partial deletion of TE ends and/or plasmid backbone insertion/deletion. The gene integration into the zebrafish genome mediated by truncated Tgf2TPases is imperfect, creating incomplete 8-bp target site duplications at the insertion sites

development of a simple and precise method for genome manipulation in Escherichia coli that alters the gene sequence without leaving foreign DNA in the chromosome. This strategy involves PCR amplification of a DNA cassette containing ISHp608-LE (left end)-antibiotic resistance gene-counterselection marker-ISHp608-RE (right end) by using primers containing extensions homologous to the adjacent regions of the target gene on the chromosome. The lambda Red-mediated recombination of the PCR product and antibiotic resistance screening results in transformants with a modified gene target. The ISHp608-LE-antibiotic resistance gene-counterselection marker-ISHp608-RE cassette can then be excised using a temperature sensitive plasmid expressing the TnpA transposase, which precisely cleaves ISHp608-LE and ISHp608-RE without leaving a scar sequence. For introduction of IS608 LE and RE into the gene of interest, lambda-Red recombination is utilized, which does not require in vitro manipulations such as restriction digestion, ligation or construction of a suicide vector.

introduction of three point mutations into the interface disrupting the octamer shows that the resulting dimers are catalytically active in vitro. Generation of dimers by deleting the helix and surrounding residues, HermesDELTA497-516, also leads to active dimers in vitro, that can catalyze all of the catalytic steps. Although Hermes dimers are hyperactive in vitro at low ionic strength, their activities are severely reduced under more physiologically relevant conditions. Hermes dimers are inactive in vivo
