Topic 4 Examples of transposable enements and their regulation Two types of regulation appear as recurring themes: Transposons control the number of their copies present in a given cell. Trnasposons control target site choice. Chapter 11 4-1 IS4-family transposons are compact elements with multiple mechanisms for copy number control Tn10 transposes via the cut-and paste mechanism, using the DNA hairpin strategy to cleave the nontransfered strands. Tn10 limits its copy number in any given cell by strategies that restrict its transposition frequency. One mechanism is the use of an antisense RN
