Abstract excerpt
A cell-free system is described that accomplishes an unusual type of transposition/recombination involving the bacterial insertion sequence IS911. Using a plasmid substrate carrying a derivative of IS911, we show that bacterial cell extracts enriched for the IS911 transposase, OrfAB, carry out a...
