Tn7 elements: engendering diversity from chromosomes to episomes

AR Parks, JE Peters - Plasmid, 2009 - Elsevier
The bacterial transposon Tn7 maintains two distinct lifestyles, one in horizontally transferred
DNA and the other in bacterial chromosomes. Access to these two DNA pools is mediated …

[HTML][HTML] Alternative interactions between the Tn7 transposase and the Tn7 target DNA binding protein regulate target immunity and transposition

Z Skelding, J Queen-Baker, NL Craig - The EMBO Journal, 2003 - embopress.org
The Tn7 transposon avoids inserting into a target DNA that contains a pre-existing copy of
Tn7. This phenomenon, known as 'target immunity', is established when TnsB, a Tn7 …

Tn7 transposes into replicating DNA using an interaction with the processivity factor, facilitating genome evolution

A Parks - 2008 - ecommons.cornell.edu
Transposons are mobile genetic elements that can move between locations in DNA that lack
homology. Transposons play an important role in the evolution of genomes in every domain …
