“We still don’t know exactly how transposons work,” Weichenrieder says. “But if we elucidate the structure of the proteins involved in transposon replication, we might be able to better understand the ...

The team now provides the first crystal structure of a protein-DNA machine ... The research team discovered that the workhorse of the transposon insertion machine, the transposase protein, has ...

The process is very simple, but it explains so much." A biochemical analysis of a mariner-family transposon from the human genome gave the first indication of the mechanism. The team then expanded ...

Recently, a large and ancient transposon-associated protein family ... St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, studied the structure of Fanzor2 to chart how these systems have evolved, offering ...
