<p>The present invention provides a method for producing a hyperactive MuA transposase variant comprising at least one single-amino-acid change, the method comprising the steps of modifying the nucleic acid encoding wild type MuA transposase in at least one of the positions 59, 97, 160, 179, 233, 254, 258, 302, 335, 340, 345, 374, 447, 464, 478, 482, 483, 487, 495, 507, 539, 594 or 617 so that the modified nucleic acid encodes a MuA transposase variant comprising at least one single-amino-acid change in its amino acid sequence, wherein said single-amino-acid change results in higher enzyme activity of the variant when compared to the wild type MuA transposase. The present invention also provides hyperactive MuA transposases and kits comprising the same.</p> |
