Abstract

TnpB proteins are transposon-encoded nucleases involved in transposon DNA propagation. Wiegand et al. identified a new class of TnpB-derived proteins, called TnpB-like nuclease-dead repressors (TldRs), which function as RNA-guided transcriptional regulators targeting conserved promoter regions. In Enterobacteriaceae, bacteriophages use TldRs and an adjacent phage gene to modulate host flagellar assembly.

TldR：TnpB 从转座子核酶到 RNA 引导的转录调节器的进化转变

TnpB 蛋白是转座子编码的核酶，参与转座子 DNA 的传播。Wiegand 等人发现了一类新的 TnpB 衍生蛋白，称为 TnpB-like 核酸酶致死抑制因子（TldRs），它们作为 RNA 引导的转录调节因子，靶向保守的启动子区域。在肠杆菌科细菌中，噬菌体利用 TldRs 和邻近的噬菌体基因来调节宿主鞭毛的组装。
