A replication hijacking mechanism for Tn3-family replicative transposition

Émilien Nicolas, Cédric A. Oger, Claire Stulemeijer, Nicolas Aryanpour, Ophélie d’Udekem d’Acoz, Nathan Nguyen, Michaël Chandler, Bernard Hallet

This paper identifies a replication hijacking mechanism in Tn3-family transposons where transposition occurs during ongoing DNA replication, directly recruiting host replication machinery.

SPO11 dimerization controls meiotic DNA double-strand break formation

Cédric A. Oger, Corentin Claeys Bouuaert

This study shows that SPO11 dimerization is essential for meiotic DNA double-strand break formation, demonstrating that SPO11 can cleave DNA alone or with TOP6BL.

Metamorphism of catalytic domain controls transposition in Tn3 family transposases

Alexander V. Shkumatov, Nicolas Aryanpour, Cédric A. Oger, Gérôme Goossens, Bernard Hallet, Rouslan G. Efremov

The paper describes cryo-EM structures of Tn3 family transposase TnpA, revealing a unique catalytic domain refolding mechanism that regulates transposition and target immunity.
