IS21 family transposase cleaved donor complex traps two right-handed superhelical crossings

Abstract Transposases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze DNA rearrangement events with broad impacts on gene expression, genome evolution, and the spread of drug-resistance in bacteria. Here, we use biochemical and structural approaches to define the molecular determinants by which IstA, a transpo...
