Abstract excerpt
We report that the bacterial transposon Tn7 selects targets by recognizing features associated with DNA replication using the transposon-encoded DNA-binding protein TnsE. We show that Tn7 transposition directed by TnsE occurs in one orientation with respect to chromosomal DNA replication, indicating that a structure or complex involved in DNA replication is likely to be a critical determinant of TnsE insertion....
