Abstract excerpt
The maize transposable element Activator (Ac) encodes a transposase (TPase) protein, whose DNA-binding domain is located in a basic region around aa 200. The N-terminal 102 aa of the TPase are not required for the transposition reaction. In transfected petunia protoplasts, we analyzed the protein levels of the N-terminally truncated TPase and mutants thereof and the corresponding transposition frequencies. The...
