The pseudo-compound transposon Tn4352B is unusual in that the translocatable unit (TU) consisting of one of the bounding IS26 copies and the central portion containing the aphA1a gene has been found to be readily lost in the Escherichia coli strains used as host. Rapid loss required the presence of an additional 2 G residues adjacent to the internal end of one of the IS26 that flank the central portion and an...
