Term
|
Definition
| encode transposase and end sequences required to mobilize element (McClintock's Ac element in maize) |
|
|
Term
| conservative site-specific recombination |
|
Definition
| segment of DNA moves between specific sequences recognized as DNA recombination sites using cognate recombinase, lack of high-energy cofactor |
|
|
Term
| cut-and-paste transposition |
|
Definition
| element moved directly to new location |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| bacteriophage encoded protein required for bacteriophage to excise from the chromosome |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| simplest mobile element in bacteria, comprised of transposase-encoding gene flanked by DNA sequences on which transposase protein acts to move element |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| conservative site-specific recombinase that integrates bacteriophage lambda into the host chromosome at a specific position |

Term
|
Definition
| end sequence recognized by transposase, but do not encode transposase, can be mobilized by providing transposase in trans from an alternate source |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| acts at specific site within termination region, converting dimer into two separate daughter chromosomes |
|
|
Term
| replicative transposition |
|
Definition
| process where transposases use extensive DNA replication to leave one copy of element behind |
|

Term
|
Definition
| allow separation of donor and target molecules in replicative transposition |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| self-encoding recombination enzyme that binds to the ends of a transposon and catalyzes the movement of transposon to another part of genome |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| process in which a discrete DNA entity can move between DNA sites that lack homology using a self-encoded recombination protein |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| sequences of DNA that can move around to different positions within the genome of a single cell |
