[Function of the InsA gene in the IS1 element of the Tn9' transposon: influence of oligonucleotide inserts in the InsA gene on formation of simple insertions and plasmid cointegrates].

Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the role of the insA reading frame in transposition of the IS1 element of the Tn9' transposon, the derivatives of plasmids pUC19::Tn9' and pUC19::IS1 have been obtained using oligonucleotide inserts of the length equal or exceeding 9 bp and equal to 10 bp. The ability of mutant variants of the Tn9' transposon and the IS1 element to form simple insertions and plasmid cointegrates was studied. To this...
