Mariner-like elements (MLEs) are members of the Tc1/mariner superfamily of transposable elements which transpose by a “cut and paste” mechanism. Most of the MLEs characterized to date are transpositionally inactive due to the accumulation of mutations in their transposase gene. Here, we ...

(13) Differences btw. the two transposition mechanisms: (14) “cut-and-paste” vs. “copy-and-paste” patterns: conservative transposition leaves the original sequence broken while the replicative transposition make a copy either in the original and target sequence. ...
CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) enable recombination-independent, multi-kilobase DNA insertions at RNA-programmed genomic locations. However, the utility of type V-K CASTs is hindered by high off-target integration and a transposition mechanism that results in a mixture of desired simple cargo...
Tn5 is a bacterial transposase working by a “cut-and-paste” mechanism. The utility of the Tn5 transposon stems in part from its high activity in many different species and lack of target specificity, so that it integrates essentially randomly. It does not require host factors for its activit...
4.12.2.2.1 Cut-and-paste DNA transposons DNA transposons such as P, hobo, and mariner are usually characterized by 10–200 bp terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) flanking one or more ORFs that encode a transposase. They usually transpose by a cut-and-paste mechanism and their copy number can ...
Many mobile DNA elements move using a “cut-and-paste” mechanism by excision of a double-stranded copy from one genomic location and insertion at another. Recently, a family of bacterial insertion sequences (ISs), the IS200/IS605 family, has been found that uses a completely different pathw...
Cut-and-paste transposons are defined by their similar structure and mechanism of transposition. All elements are composed of a central transposase-coding region flanked by terminal IRs. Cut-and-paste transposition, first demonstrated forPelements and Tc1/marinerelements [68,69], is catalyzed by th...
