Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the ends of a transposon and catalyzes the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by a cut and paste mechanism or a replicative transposition mechanism. The word transposase was first coined by the individuals who cloned the enzyme required for tranposition of the Tn3 transposon.
