Abstract:
:The phage Mu transpososome is assembled by interactions of transposase subunits with the left (L) and right (R) ends of Mu and an enhancer (E) located in between. A metastable three-site complex LER progresses into a more stable type 0 complex in which a tetrameric transposase is poised for DNA cleavage. "Difference topology" has revealed five trapped negative supercoils within type 0, three contributed by crossings of E with L and R, and two by crossings of L with R. This is the most complex DNA arrangement seen to date within a recombination synapse. Contrary to the prevailing notion, the enhancer appears not to be released immediately following type 0 assembly. Difference topology provides a simple method for determining the ordered sequestration of DNA segments within nucleoprotein assemblies.
