Structural highlights
Function
TNSA_ECOLX Required for Tn7 transposition. Forms the transposase, together with TnsB. TnsA executes the 5'-DNA strand breakage reaction. TnsABC and TnsD promote high-frequency insertion of Tn7 into a specific target site known as ATT-Tn7 whereas TnsABC and TnsD promote low-frequency insertion into many different sites.[1] [2]
