Tn3 transposon

Index Tn3 transposon

The Tn3 transposon is a 4957 base pair mobile genetic element, found in prokaryotes. [1]

7 relations: Cre recombinase, DNA supercoil, FLP-FRT recombination, Prokaryote, Topoisomerase, Transposable element, Transposase.

Cre recombinase

Cre recombinase is a tyrosine recombinase enzyme derived from the P1 bacteriophage.

DNA supercoil

DNA supercoiling refers to the over- or under-winding of a DNA strand, and is an expression of the strain on that strand.

FLP-FRT recombination

In genetics, Flp-FRT recombination is a site-directed recombination technology, increasingly used to manipulate an organism's DNA under controlled conditions in vivo.

Prokaryote

A prokaryote is a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.

Topoisomerase

Topoisomerases are enzymes that participate in the overwinding or underwinding of DNA.

Transposable element

A transposable element (TE or transposon) is a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size.

Transposase

Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the end of a transposon and catalyzes the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by a cut and paste mechanism or a replicative transposition mechanism.
