An ATP-ADP switch in MuB controls progression of the Mu transposition pathway.

Abstract excerpt

MuB protein, an ATP-dependent DNA-binding protein, collaborates with Mu transposase to promote efficient transposition. MuB binds target DNA, delivers this target DNA segment to transposase and activates transposase's catalytic functions. Using ATP-bound, ADP-bound and ATPase-defective MuB proteins we investigated how nucleotide binding and hydrolysis control the activities of MuB protein, important for...
