Transposase is the mobile-genetic-element recombinase. It binds the ends of a transposon and catalyzes its movement to another part of the genome by cut-and-paste or replicative transposition, mobilizing insertion sequences, composite transposons and Tn3-family elements. Expected in Bacteria, Eukaryota and Archaea.
