Abstract excerpt
MAGGY is a Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposon, which was identified in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Some Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposons, including MAGGY, contain a chromodomain-like module (CLM) in the C-terminus of the integrase domain. We have made a series of MAGGY mutants to examine the role of the CLM in the transposition activity of the element. Introduction of a mutation at different positions in the MAGGY...
