Transposase contains a DDE motif in its active site<ref>PMID:18790806</ref> enabling it to coordinate the binding of divalent metal ions. The metal ions affect transposase reactivity. The DDE motif is conserved in transposases and retroviral integrases and is essential for their activity. | Transposase contains a <scene name='59/596996/Cv/3'>DDE motif in its active site</scene><ref>PMID:18790806</ref> enabling it to coordinate the binding of divalent metal ions.
