Abstract excerpt
Tn5401 is a class II transposable element derived from the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. The 4,837-bp transposon encodes a Tn3-like transposase (TnpA) and an integrase-like recombinase (TnpI) and is notable for its unusually long 53-bp terminal inverted repeats (TIRs). The tnpA and tnpI genes are transcribed from a common promoter, designated P(R), that is subject to negative regulation by TnpI....
