20. cuts in trans transfers in trans 22 bp Mu integrates by nonreplicative transposition; during lytic cycle- number of copies amplified by replicative transposition - MuA binds to ends as tetramer forming a synapsis . - MuA subunits act in trans to cut next to R1 and L1 (coordinately; two active sites to manipulate DNA). - MuA acts in trans to cut the target site DNA and mediate in trans strand transfer

23. Molecular mechanism of transposition (I) Replicative transposition Replicative transposition proceeds through a cointegrate . Transposition may fuse a donor and recipient replicon into a cointegrate. Resolution releases two replicons-each has copy of the transposon
24. Replicative transposition Ligation to target ends 3. 3’-ends prime replication The crossover structure contains a single stranded region at each of the staggered ends= pseudoreplication forks that provide template for DNA synthesis Donor and target cut cointegrate .
