Analysis of chromosomal insertion sites for Bacteroides Tn4555 and the role of TnpA.

Abstract excerpt

Tn4555, a mobilizable transposon carrying cefoxitin resistance, is directed to a preferred target site in the Bacteroides fragilis chromosome by a transposon-encoded targeting protein TnpA. In an effort to characterize target site selection for Tn4555, the existence of preferred target sites in other species of Bacteroides and in Escherichia coli was examined. For these analyses a Tn4555 mini element, pFD660, was...
