| Abstract | Tn10 transposition takes place by a non-replicative mechanism in which the transposon is excised from donor DNA and integrated into a target site. Mg2+ is an essential cofactor in this reaction. We have examined the Mg2+ requirements at various steps in Tn10 transposition. Results presented here demonstrate that Tn10 excision can occur efficiently at a 16-fold lower Mg2+ concentration than strand transfer and that, at Mg2+ concentrations in the range of 60-fold below the wildt-ype optimum, double strand cleavage events at the two transposon ends are completely uncoupled. These experiments identify specific breakpoints in Tn10 transposition which are sensitive to Mg2+ concentration. Whereas the uncoupling of double strand cleavage events at the two transposon ends most likely reflects the inability of two separate IS10 transposase monomers in the synaptic complex to bind Mg2+, the uncoupling of transposon excision from strand transfer is expected to reflect either a conformational change in the active site or the existence of an Mg2+ binding site which functions specifically in target interactions. We also show that Mn2+ relaxes target specificity in Tn10 transposition and suppresses a class of mutants which are blocked specifically for integration. These observations can be explained by a model in which sequence-specific target site binding is tightly coupled to a conformational change in the synaptic complex which is required for catalysis of strand transfer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
