Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies of the mariner transposable element Mos1 have revealed two novel types of regulatory mechanisms. In one mechanism, overproduction of the wild-type transposase reduces the overall level of transposase activity as assayed by the excision of a nonautonomous mariner target element. This mechanism is termed overproduction inhibition (OPI). Another mechanism is observed in a class of hypomorphic...
