A bifunctional DNA binding region in Tn5 transposase.

Abstract excerpt

Tn5 transposition is a complicated process that requires the formation of a highly ordered protein-DNA structure, a synaptic complex, to catalyse the movement of a sequence of DNA (transposon) into a target DNA. Much is known about the structure of the synaptic complex and the positioning of protein-DNA contacts, although many protein-DNA contacts remain largely unstudied. In particular, there is little evidence...
