Functional characterization of the Bari1 transposition system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The transposons of the Bari family are mobile genetic elements widespread in the Drosophila genus. However, despite a broad diffusion, virtually no information is available on the mechanisms underlying their mobility.

DNA-binding activity and subunit interaction of the mariner transposase [PDF]
, 2001 Mos1 is a member of the mariner/Tc1 family of transposable elements originally identified in Drosophila mauritiana. It has 28 bp terminal inverted repeats and like other elements of this type it transposes by a cut and paste mechanism, inserts at TA ...

Identification and characterization of domesticated bacterial transposases [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017 ABSTRACT Selfish genetic elements (SGEs), such as insertion sequences (ISs) and transposons are found in most genomes. Transposons are usually identifiable by their high copy number within genomes. In contrast REP associated tyrosine transposases (RAYTs), a recently described class of bacterial transposase, are ...

Crystallization of a Mos1 transposase-inverted-repeat DNA complex: biochemical and preliminary crystallographic analyses [PDF]
, 2007 A complex formed between Mos1 transposase and its inverted-repeat DNA has been crystallized. The crystals diffract to 3.25 angstrom resolution and exhibit monoclinic (P2(1)) symmetry, with unit-cell parameters a = 120.8, b = 85.1, c = 131.6 angstrom ...
