Phylogenetic tree of transposase protein sequences encoded in the Anabaena sp. WA102 genome. The phylogenetic relationship between 130 annotated transposase protein sequences is sketched out in the tree. Two large clades of closely related transposases dominate the tree. The IS4Sa clade includes 25 transposases and the IS10 clade includes 20 transposases, which both belong to the larger IS4 transposase family. These transposases have a DDE-type active site that facilitates cut-and-paste transposition. The IS4Sa clade has an identical terminal direct repeat sequence: CCGCCTTGTCACCCGTTAAG. The IS10 clade has the terminal direct repeat sequence: ATTCAACAYTTCTG
