This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1f3i. The December 2006 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Transposase by David S. Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2006_12. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.3Å Ligands: MG, MN Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function TN5P_ECOLX Mediates transposition of transposon Tn5 by a 'cut and paste' mechanism. First, the monomeric transposase binds the 19 bp inverted DNA repeats flanking the transposon. Then, dimerization of the DNA-bound transposase creates a synaptic DNA complex. After nicking of the first DNA strand, excision of the transposon proceeds through a series of intermediates. The transposase then mediates the insertion of the transposon at a new site by strand transfer. The activity of the wild-type transposase is very low, and is further inhibited by dimerization with the transposase inhibitor (inh). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
