A highly conserved domain of the maize activator transposase is involved in dimerization.

The Plant cell - 1 Feb 2000

Essers L, Adolphs R H, Kunze R

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have presented indirect evidence that the transposase of the maize transposable element Activator (TPase) is active as an oligomer and forms inactive macromolecular complexes expressed in large amounts. Here, we have identified and characterized a dimerization domain at the C terminus of the protein. This domain is the most highly conserved region in the transposases of elements belonging to the...
