Comparative analysis of chimeric ZFP-, TALE- and Cas9-piggyBac transposases for integration into a single locus in human cells

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2017
Integrating DNA delivery systems hold promise for many applications including treatment of diseases; however, targeted integration is needed for improved safety.

Systems Biology and Pangenome of Salmonella O-Antigens. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
O-antigens are glycopolymers in lipopolysaccharides expressed on the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria. Variability in the O-antigen structure constitutes the basis for the establishment of the serotyping schema. We pursued a two-pronged approach to

HIV-1 integrase inhibitors targeting various DDE transposases: Retroviral integration versus RAG-mediated recombination

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2019
Transposases are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements responsible for genome development, driving rearrangements, such as insertions, deletions and translocations.

Comparative genome analysis of Wolbachia strain wAu [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Wolbachia intracellular bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of their arthropod hosts, including inducing sterility between populations known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Certain strains have been identified that are unable to

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

Emerging functions of DNA transposases and oncogenic mutators in childhood cancer development.

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2018
Our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of childhood cancers has advanced substantially, but their fundamental causes remain poorly understood. Recently, multiple mechanisms of DNA damage and repair have been associated with mutations observed in

Tn5 Transposase

open access: yes, 2023
Tn5 Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the end of a transposon and catalyzes its movement to another part of the genome by a cut-and-paste mechanism or a "replicative transposition mechanism. Genes encoding transposases are widespreadthe most abundant in the genomes of most organisms and are the most abundant genes known.

Exploring the Remote Ties between Helitron Transposases and Other Rolling-Circle Replication Proteins

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Rolling-circle replication (RCR) elements constitute a diverse group that includes viruses, plasmids, and transposons, present in hosts from all domains of life.

Sleeping Beauty transposase structure allows rational design of hyperactive variants for genetic engineering

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Sleeping Beauty is used as a genome engineering tool in a range of organisms. Here, the authors solve an atomic structure of Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposase and model the target DNA into the active site, elucidating details that may enable the rational ...
