Figure 7. Kat1 displays extensive similarities to cut and paste DNA transposons.

Figure 7

(a) Table summarizing the mutational analysis of Kat1, with respect to DNA binding, DNA cleavage, DNA strand transfer and mating-type switching in glucose and galactose in vivo. “+”, indicates active; “−”, not active; “+/−”, partially active; “nt”, not tested. (b) Mechanism of action of Kat1 transposase. In vitro, Kat1 is a cut and paste DNA transposase cleaving the transposon end by specific sequence recognition and strand-transfers the excised DNA into target DNA.
