malfunction | a TnsC mutant defective in interaction with TnsB is defective for Tn7 transposition both in vitro and in vivo | Escherichia coli |
metabolism | DNA cut-and-paste transposons are discrete DNA segments that move from place to place within genomes via excision from a donor site by double-strand DNA breaks and insertion into a target site. These events are mediated by nucleoprotein complexes whose assembly regulates and coordinates breakage and joining. Multiple protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions are involved in assembly of these nucleoprotein complexes | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | the excision of transposon Tn7 from a donor site and its insertion into its preferred target site, attachment site attTn7, is mediated by four Tn7-encoded transposition proteins: TnsA, TnsB, TnsC, and TnsD. Transposition requires the assembly of a nucleoprotein complex containing all four Tns proteins and the DNA substrates, the donor site containing Tn7, and the preferred target site attTn7. TnsA and TnsB together form the heteromeric Tn7 transposase, and TnsD is a target-selecting protein that binds specifically to attTn7. TnsC is the key regulator of transposition, interacting with both the TnsAB transposase and TnsD-attTn7. TnsC interacts directly with TnsB via its C-terminus, identification of the specific region of TnsC involved in the TnsB-TnsC interaction during transposition. TnsC amino acids L475 and L476 play important roles in the interaction of the peptide TnsB with TnsC. Tn7 displays cis-acting target immunity, which blocks Tn7 insertion into a target DNA that already contains Tn7, the direct TnsB-TnsC interaction also mediates cis-acting Tn7 target immunity. TnsC also interacts directly with the target selector protein TnsD, TnsC and TnsD together form a complex with the transposon attachment site attTn7.
