Abstract excerpt

The insertion sequence IS903 encodes a 307 amino acid residue protein, transposase, that is essential for transposition. It is a multi-functional DNA-binding protein that specifically recognizes the 18 bp inverted repeats at the ends of the element and also recognizes DNa non-specifically when it...
