Transposases are sequence-specific nucleases and strand transferases that catalyze transposition through an ordered series of events: sequence-specific binding of transposase to the terminal inverted repeats (IR) present at each end of the transposon, pairing of the transposon IRs in a paired-end complex (PEC), cleavage of one or both DNA strands at each transposon end, capture of target DNA, and strand transfer to insert the transposon at a new site. Publication Abstract from PubMed DNA transposases catalyze the movement of transposons around genomes by a cut-and-paste mechanism related to retroviral integration. Transposases and retroviral integrases share a common RNaseH-like domain with a catalytic DDE/D triad that coordinates the divalent cations required for DNA cleavage and integration. The anti-retroviral drugs Raltegravir and Elvitegravir inhibit integrases by displacing viral DNA ends from the catalytic metal ions. We demonstrate that Raltegravir, but not Elvitegravir, binds to Mos1 transposase in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+, without the requirement for transposon DNA, and inhibits transposon cleavage and DNA integration in biochemical assays. Crystal structures at 1.7 A resolution show Raltegravir, in common with integrases, coordinating two Mg2+ or Mn2+ ions in the Mos1 active site. However, in the absence of transposon ends, the drug adopts an unusual, compact binding mode distinct from that observed in the active site of the prototype foamy virus integrase.
