Abstract excerpt
Efficient intermolecular transposition of bacterial insertion sequence IS911 involves the activities of two element-encoded proteins: the transposase, OrfAB, and a regulatory factor, OrfA. OrfA shares the majority of its amino acid sequence with the N-terminal part of OrfAB. This includes a putative helix-turn-helix and three of four heptads of a leucine zipper motif. OrfA strongly stimulates OrfAB-mediated...
