High impact information on SETMAR

  • The presence of these transposons in the human genome constitutes a potential reservoir of approximately 1,500 perfect or nearly perfect SETMAR-binding sites [1].
  • Although SETMAR has demonstrated methylase activity and a DNA repair phenotype, its mode of action and the role of the transposase domain remain obscure [2].
  • Despite this problem, SETMAR retains robust activity for the other stages of the Hsmar1 transposition reaction, namely, site-specific DNA binding to the transposon ends, assembly of a paired-ends complex, cleavage of the 5' end of the element in Mn(2+), and integration at a TA dinucleotide target site [2].
