A novel hyperactive variant of the Sleeping Beauty transposase facilitates non-viral genome engineering

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a useful tool for genetic applications, including gene therapy. We discovered a hyperactive variant of the SB100X transposase, called SB200X.

Transposase-assisted target-site integration for efficient plant genome engineering

open access: yesNature
The current technologies to place new DNA into specific locations in plant genomes are low frequency and error-prone, and this inefficiency hampers genome-editing approaches to develop improved crops1,2.

Increasing transposase abundance with ocean depth correlates with a particle-associated lifestyle

open access: yesmSystems
Transposases are mobile genetic elements that move within and between genomes, promoting genomic plasticity in microorganisms. In marine microbial communities, the abundance of transposases increases with depth, but the reasons behind this trend remain ...

Recurrent co-domestication of PIF/Harbinger transposable element proteins in insects

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2022
Background Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish DNA sequences capable of moving and amplifying at the expense of host cells. Despite this, an increasing number of studies have revealed that TE proteins are important contributors to the emergence of ...

Image2_Insertion Specificity of the hATx-6 Transposase of Hydra magnipapillata.TIF

open access: yes, 2021
Transposable elements (TE) are mobile genetic elements, present in all domains of life. They commonly encode a single transposase enzyme, that performs the excision and reintegration reactions, and these enzymes have been used in mutagenesis and creation

Transposase-mediated gene modulation in the placenta [PDF]

open access: yesPlacenta, 2017
The placenta is an organ vital to fetal development as well as the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy and plays a crucial role in developmental programming of the fetus. The mechanisms that link intrauterine milieu, fetal health and disease development later in life are poorly understood. Placenta-specific gene modulation, both by generating transgenic

Transposase-DNA Complex Structures Reveal Mechanisms for Conjugative Transposition of Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yesCell, 2018
Summary Conjugative transposition drives the emergence of multidrug resistance in diverse bacterial pathogens, yet the mechanisms are poorly characterized.

An abundant evolutionarily conserved CSB-PiggyBac fusion protein expressed in Cockayne syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2008
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a devastating progeria most often caused by mutations in the CSB gene encoding a SWI/SNF family chromatin remodeling protein. Although all CSB mutations that cause CS are recessive, the complete absence of CSB protein does not ...
