== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TNPA_BPMU TNPA_BPMU] Responsible for viral genome integration into the host chromosome. During integration of the incoming virus, DDE-recombinase A cleaves both viral DNA ends and the resulting 3'-OH perform a nucleophilic attack of the host DNA. The 5' flanking DNA attached to the ends of the viral genome (flaps) are resected by the DDE-recombinase A endonuclease activity, with the help of host chaperone ClpX. The gaps created in the host chromosome by the viral genome insertion are repaired by the host primary machinery for double-strand break repair.  Responsible for replication of the viral genome by replicative transposition. During replicative transposition, DDE-recombinase A is part of the transpososome complex. DDE-recombinase A cleaves the viral DNA and the resulting 3'-OH performs a nucleophilic attack of the host DNA. The 5' flanking DNA is not resected and an intermediary structure is formed. This structure is resolved by target-primed replication leading to two copies of the viral genome (the original one and the copied one). Host ClpX and translation initiation factor IF2 play an essential transpososome-remodeling role by releasing the block between transposition and DNA replication. Successive rounds of replicative transposition can lead up to 100 copies of the viral genome.  Promotes replication and thereby lytic development by competing with repressor c (Repc) for binding to the internal activation sequence (IAS) in the enhancer/operator region. The outcome of this competition determines if the virus enters latency or starts replication.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
BACKGROUND: Mu transposase (MuA) is a multidomain protein encoded by the bacteriophage Mu genome. It is responsible for translocation of the Mu genome, which is the largest and most efficient transposon known. While the various domains of MuA have been delineated by means of biochemical methods, no data have been obtained to date relating to its tertiary structure. RESULTS: We have solved the three-dimensional solution structure of the DNA-binding domain (residues 1-76; MuA76) of MuA by multidimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structure consists of a three-membered alpha-helical bundle buttressed by a three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet. Helices H1 and H2 and the seven-residue turn connecting them comprise a helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif. In addition, there is a long nine-residue flexible loop or wing connecting strands B2 and B3 of the sheet. NMR studies of MuA76 complexed with a consensus DNA site from the internal activation region of the Mu genome indicate that the wing and the second helix of the HTH motif are significantly perturbed upon DNA binding. CONCLUSIONS: While the general appearance of the DNA-binding domain of MuA76 is similar to that of other winged HTH proteins, the connectivity of the secondary structure elements is permuted. Hence, the fold of MuA76 represents a novel class of winged HTH DNA-binding domain.
