Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Some mobile genetic elements target the lagging strand template during DNA replication. Bacterial examples are insertion sequences IS608 and ISDra2 (IS200/IS605 family members). They use obligatory single-stranded circular DNA intermediates for excision and insertion and encode a transposase, TnpAIS200, which recognizes subterminal secondary structures at the insertion sequence ends. Similar secondary...
