Transposition without transposase: a spontaneous mutation in bacteria.
Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 1997

Abstract excerpt
Transposition mutations are typically associated with the activities of transposable elements such as transposons and insertion sequences, whose mobility is dependent upon transposase enzymes that catalyze exchanges between element ends and target sites. We describe a single transposition event in which a block of donor sequence is inserted at a target site without the involvement of any known transposase or the...
