UniProtKB description: Selects the target DNA sites for transposition. Recruits DDE-recombinase A to the target sites and catalytically activates it. Displays non-specific DNA-binding properties. Polymerizes as helical filaments around the DNA. Coating of the DNA by the target DNA activator B might play a role in favoring target-primed replication over integration. Prevents self-integration into an integrated copy of the viral genome. This mechanism is called target immunity and is achieved by two mechanisms: first, the target DNA activator B dissociates from the viral genome ends upon interaction in cis with DDE-recombinase A, which makes the viral genome ends a poor target for new insertions. Second, the interior of the viral genome may also be protected from integration events by the target DNA activator B being strongly bound throughout the whole viral genome.
