Tn10/IS10 transposition takes place in the context of a protein–DNA complex called a transpososome. During the reaction, the transpososome undergoes several conformational changes. The host proteins IHF and H-NS, which also are global regulators of g... Read More about H-NS mediates the dissociation of a refractory protein–DNA complex during Tn10/IS10 transposition.

The transposon-like correia elements encode numerous strong promoters and provide a potential new mechanism for phase variation in the meningococcus (2011)

Neisseria meningitidis is the primary causative agent of bacterial meningitis. The genome is rich in repetitive DNA and almost 2% is occupied by a diminutive transposon called the Correia element. Here we report a bioinformatic analysis defining eigh...
