One to rule them all: A highly conserved motif in mariner transposase controls multiple steps of transposition (2014)
Journal Article
Bouuaert, C. C., Chalmers, R., & Tellier, M. (2014). One to rule them all: A highly conserved motif in mariner transposase controls multiple steps of transposition. Mobile Genetic Elements, 4(2), https://doi.org/10.4161/mge.28807

The development of transposon-based genome manipulation tools can benefit greatly from understanding transposons’ inherent regulatory mechanisms. The Tc1-mariner transposons, which are being widely used in biotechnological applications, are subject t...

Crosstalk between transposase subunits during cleavage of the mariner transposon (2014)
Journal Article
Claeys Bouuaert, C., Walker, N., Liu, D., & Chalmers, R. (2014). Crosstalk between transposase subunits during cleavage of the mariner transposon. Nucleic Acids Research, 42(9), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gku172

Mariner transposition is a complex reaction that involves three recombination sites and six strand breaking and joining reactions. This requires precise spatial and temporal coordination between the different components to ensure a productive outcome...
