Abstract excerpt
The transposon gamma delta, in common with other members of the Tn3 family, confers transpositional immunity, a phenomenon by which plasmids containing a single transposon end show reduced activity as targets for further insertion by the same element. We found that a copy of a mutant delta end, in which the two terminal base pairs (5' GG) were substituted with cytosines, conferred the same degree of immunity as...
