ABSTRACT Transposition (the movement of discrete segments of DNA, resulting in rearrangement of genomic DNA) initiates when transposase forms a dimeric DNA-protein synaptic complex with transposon DNA end sequences. The synaptic complex is a prerequisite for catalytic reactions that occur during the transposition process. The transposase-DNA interactions involved in the synaptic complex have been of great interest. Here we undertook a study to verify the protein-DNA interactions that lead to synapsis in the Tn5 system. Specifically, we studied (i) Arg342, Glu344, and Asn348 and (ii) Ser438, Lys439, and Ser445, which, based on the previously published cocrystal structure of Tn5 transposase bound to a precleaved transposon end sequence, make cis and trans contacts with transposon end sequence DNA, respectively. By using genetic and biochemical assays, we showed that in all cases except one, each of these residues plays an important role in synaptic complex formation, as predicted by the cocrystal structure.

Abstract Background: Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon had been thought to strictly integrate into TA dinucleotides. Recently, we found that SB also integrates into non-TA sites at a lower frequency. Here we performed further study on the non-TA integration of SB. Results: 1) SB can integrate into non-TA sites in HEK293T cells as well as in mouse cell lines. 2) Both the hyperactive transposase SB100X and the traditional SB11 catalyze integrations at non-TA sites. 3) The consensus sequence of the non-TA target sites only occur at the opposite side of the sequenced junction between transposon end and the genomic sequences, indicating that the integrations at non-TA sites are mainly aberrant integrations. 4) The consensus sequence of the non-TA target sites is corresponding to the transposon end sequence. When the transposon end sequence is mutated, the consensus sequences changed too. Conclusion: The interaction between the SB transposon end and genomic DNA may be involved in the target site selection of the SB integrations at non-TA sites.

ABSTRACT Polyadenylation plays a role in decay of some bacterial mRNAs, as well as in the quality control of stable RNA. In Escherichia coli, poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I) is the main polyadenylating enzyme, but the addition of 3′ tails also occurs in the absence of PAP I via the synthetic activity of polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase). The nature of 3′-tail addition in Bacillus subtilis, which lacks an identifiable PAP I homologue, was studied. Sizing of poly(A) sequences revealed a similar pattern in wild-type and PNPase-deficient strains. Sequencing of 152 cloned cDNAs, representing 3′-end sequences of nontranslated and translated RNAs, revealed modified ends mostly on incomplete transcripts, which are likely to be decay intermediates. The 3′-end additions consisted of either short poly(A) sequences or longer heteropolymeric ends with a mean size of about 40 nucleotides. Interestingly, multiple independent clones exhibited complex heteropolymeric ends of very similar but not identical nucleotide sequences. Similar polyadenylated and heteropolymeric ends were observed at 3′ ends of RNA isolated from wild-type and pnpA mutant strains. These data demonstrated that, unlike the case of some other bacterial species and chloroplasts, PNPase of Bacillus subtilis is not the major enzyme responsible for the addition of nucleotides to RNA 3′ ends.
