Metaproteomics Reveals Abundant Transposase Expression in Mutualistic Endosymbionts

ABSTRACT Transposases, enzymes that catalyze the movement of mobile genetic elements, are the most abundant genes in nature. While many bacteria encode an abundance of transposases in their genomes, the current paradigm is that the expression of transposase genes is tightly regulated and generally l...
